This site is a guide to finding coffee in Perth's playgrounds and parks, created by a Perth family.

We are a family of two children who love playgrounds, and two parents who love coffee. We made this website to tell other parents about great parks and playgrounds in Perth, focusing on places where you can have coffee in the park while the kids play.

Since starting the site in early 2009 we have 15,000 visitors to www.acoffeeinthepark.com.  A big thank you to everyone who has been sending through park suggestions - our website keeps on growing thanks to lots of suggestions from other coffee loving parents!!

What counts as a coffee in the park?

To count as an official 'coffee in the park' a park need to have two essential criteria - a playground and a nearby source of takeaway espresso coffee. The two must be no more than a short walk from each other. These free public parks are listed in the three Perth Playgrounds menus (South, North and Hills). We have added a Country Playgrounds section that features country towns with a coffee in the park.

There are also many other great playgrounds that unfortunately don't have a built-in source of caffeine, so we have created a category for them called Great Parks - No Coffee.  The list of these parks is growing rapidly thanks to lots of suggestions.
