Ascot Water Playground

31°55′56″S 115°56′09″E / 31.93224°S 115.935827°E / -31.93224; 115.935827 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 A$326,156. 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.

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