Birdwood Square
The City of Vincent is delivering upgrades to Birdwood Square.
Centrally located on Beaufort Street, the park has long been a popular spot for families, community sport and the nearby Highgate Primary School.
Local sporting clubs and Highgate Primary School are growing and require increased access to our sporting reserves. Due to the lack of amenities, the growing community cannot maximise the reserve in its current form.
A modern toilet and changeroom facility and new playground will revitalise the area, with improved footpaths, lighting and greenery to complete the space.
The upgrade is partially funded by the State Government, through an election commitment from the Hon. John Carey MLA, Department of Education WA and Vincent.

Stage 1: Toilet and changeroom facility
Complete
A modern toilet and changeroom facility has been built to provide convenience and allow more people to enjoy the park for longer. It includes an accessible toilet, along with two unisex toilet and shower cubicles.
The public toilet is auto-locked and open to the public between set hours. The two unisex changeroom cubicles are locked and available for hire.
The old playground has now been removed and the toilet and changeroom facility built in its place. The parkour equipment will remain, however, it will be slightly reduced in size to allow space for the new playground.
Stage 2: New playground
Complete
The all-new playground at Birdwood Square is now open.
It features two swings, basket swing, slides, a timber and rope ravine bridge crossing, fire pole, monkey bars, pommel walker, talk tube, half arched net climber, rock wall, climbing nets, steppers, an abacus and counter and shade sails.
Vincent’s playground enthusiasts and students from the neighbouring Highgate Primary School played a helping hand in coming up with ideas for the equipment.
