Whitfords Nodes Park — Attraction in Hillarys

Always clean when I visit. Often windy when I happen to be there so before the evening bring extra clothes. Many times I seen people using the BBQ but I heard once a friend of mine could not get the BBQ to work. Make me suspicious if it was the wind blowing causing too much turbulence (I am only guessing it is gas). Well no meat for them that day, they given up while I noticed at least couple of others after him were using that same BBQ. Not a fan as I keep imagining birds fly by and poop on it. You want to make sure you bring a brush and cleaners for your own health, as seagulls are scavengers.

Apart from the extra space, there are commercial and sponsored activities there when the season permits. You can park on the Node's car-park or on Hillarys Boat Harbour side (beware of paid parking times in the mornings). Not too far to walk to those restaurants / fast food if the BBQ fails.

Just beware this park has not got enough bench /seats / tables, best to BYO particularly for the comfort of the elderly and infirm. Not complaining as I know there's cost in maintenance. Hand held umbrella may not be an good idea on windy days. So bring something strong, not far to fill your sand bags at the beach if you want weight to hold down your GAZEBO. Not sure what the rules are with pegs in public parks, but I do know particular councils do not allow metal pegs (plastic only) as its dangerous when accidentally mowed, not the obvious reason it is a projectile but because it leaves scattered remaining; many tiny pieces of sharp shrapnel. Quite annoying to get it out from under your skin and then tearing more flesh, like a fishing hook when you try pull it out with tweezers. Glad it wasn't on my butt.

Plenty of space to kick a ball. Enough trees to take sun cover in the...

Why not visit Whitfords Nodes Health & Wellbeing Hub..... A public outdoor fitness zone in Perth's northern suburbs. We visited late in the day, when the Freo Doctor was in and the sun was setting. Located on a fabulous park, next to the beach, this hub has so much covered! The exercise stairway with 145 steps, has a stunning view from the top and 2 trail paths leading back to the foot of the stairs. 🏃‍♀️Red trail 1200m and blue trail 680m. Feeling like something more challenging? 🤔 Why not try the Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course (age 12+) the first mega course in Australia, and a fun way to develop strength and agility! 💪 The course has been designed in a similar design to the obstacles on the popular Australian Ninja Warrior TV show. Plenty of parking, playgrounds, public toilets, two look outs, fitness zones and a massive grassed area. Then there's always the beach 😎🏖️

This is where parkrun starts every Saturday mornings at 8am. It is a free timed 5km walking/running event for all ages and fitness levels. Look out for the banners.. they'll guide you to the start.

Jacob's Ladder of the North is here too. 171 glorious steps leading up to the most magnificent view. The staircase is built with shade, landings and seating along the way up, so it caters to all fitness levels.

You can choose to climb the stairs up, then take the sealed pathways winding through the dunes on the way down. It's great for a workout!

At the bottom of the hill is a water fountain and permanent exercise equipment along with instructions.

There is a public toilet block across the grassed area, and a nature style playground for the kids. Plenty of parking.

A short walk through the dunes is the beach, a perfect way to cool down...
