The river foreshore at Matilda Bay doesn't have a formal playground but is a cool place to play and have coffee. Just opposite UWA, the river foreshore is a long strip of grass with lots of shady trees and picnic areas. There is a narrow strip of sandy beach to build sandcastles on and the shallows of the Swan River to splash in.

The Matilda Bay Tearooms do a takeaway coffee, as well as light meals and snacks. It is a great place to have a swim and play in the sand on a summers day, with the trees providing shade for Mum and Dad and younger kids.

There really should be a playground here!
