Wadjup Waabiny Overview

Wadjup Waabiny Play Space

6 Kent St, Wilson WA 6107 

The new Wadjup Waabiny (pronounced Wad-jup Waah-bin) play space at Kent Street Weir takes its name from Wadjup, the traditional place name for the broader Canning Flats area, and Waabiny, meaning ‘playing’ in Noongar language. The space offers a range of play experiences for all ages, including a large water play area, sand tables and adventurous climbing structures. Set on the banks of the Djarlgarro Beeliar (Canning River), there are also picnic areas, BBQ facilities and plenty of space to relax and explore.
