Our first family outing with the families of Serene and Sam in our recent Sep/Oct 2023 trip to WA is to the Rio Tinto Naturescape Park. This was opened to the public in December 2017 after undergoing major upgrading. This is my first visit to this part of the Park even though I have visited this hill numerous times.
The construction of the Park was funded by Rio Tinto - a British-Australian multi-national company which is the second largest mining & metals company in the world after BHP. Funding the construction of this Park is probably Rio Tinto small gesture to compensate for the "destruction" caused to the environment in their mining operation!
The bush setting and facilities provided in the park are quite different from conventional children playground. We saw 40m long aerial walkway which they call the Python, tall climbing poles, climbing ropes, treetop climb, burrow, creeks and wetland which are meant to encourage children to explore and to experience nature with some risks of suffering bumps and scratches.
