Ascot Water Playground
Coordinates: 31°55′56″S 115°56′09″E / 31.93222°S 115.93582°E 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]
