Galup Reserve (formerly Lake Monger) SW Adventure Playground

89 Lake Monger Dr, Wembley

The South West Adventure Playground offers a wide range of play and activity options in the beautiful surrounds of Galup Reserve. Galup (pronounced Kaarlup), meaning “where the home fires burn”, is an important place for the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation, who raised and nurtured their communities here for thousands of years. Children can climb, balance, splash, swing, spin and explore the playground, then walk or ride around the lake on the approximately 3.5 km flat, shared path.
