Reserving areas and use of personal gazebos and tables

Bibra Lake Regional Playground cannot be reserved for private gatherings.

We've noticed instances where visitors have attempted to 'reserve' sections of the playground by setting up tables and gazebos. To ensure fairness and to maximise enjoyment for everyone, we kindly remind our guests that the use of gazebos and tables within the playground is not permitted. For group activities or picnics, please arrange your tables and gazebos outside the playground's perimeter fence. 

Dog-friendly areas

Due to the number of children playing within Bibra Lake Regional Playground, dogs are not permitted inside the fenced area of the playground. However, dogs are permitted on a lead outside of the fenced playground area.

Honouring Aboriginal Heritage

Bibra Lake is a significant sacred site for Nyungar people, reflected through the design of the playground. Giant talking rocks positioned in a yarning circle will teach children local stories and provide information about the lake and its importance to Nyungar people. A yarning circle is a traditional spot for gathering and teaching.

Aboriginal fish traps were the inspiration behind the large basket like climbing frames and cubby houses. Fish traps are the result of moving stone to form a wall or a ‘trap’ so that fish could be easily caught and extracted from lakes or ponds.
