31.93222°S 115.93582°E / -31.93222; 115.93582 The Ascot Water Playground was a 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. It was managed by a partnership between the YMCA of Perth and the City of Belmont.[2]

The park closed in 2002 because of new occupational health and safety laws, as well as river run-off laws.[3] It was added to the Municipal Heritage Inventory in 2003,[1] and in 2018 was demolished to make way for housing.[1]
