Ascot Water Playground

31.93222°S 115.93582°E / -31.93222; 115.93582 The Ascot Water Playground is a former recreation facility in Ascot, Western Australia. Built in 1975 under the Labor government's Red Scheme for the long-term unemployed, it was officially opened in November 1977 at a cost of $326,156.[1] The complex had pools, water slides, and mini-golf. The park closed in 2002 because of new occupational health and safety laws, as well as river run-off laws.[2]

It was added to the Municipal Heritage Inventory in 2003.[1]
