Kids

There are plenty of things to do with the family at Greenbushes. Take a look at the Greenbushes Discovery Centre and play the "history game" there, experience the Discovery Decline or Discovery Forest or get a close look at the area's natural fauna and flora in the "land dome".
The Discovery Centre, on Blackwood Road, is entertaining and educational for the family.

Take a walk through the forest and see old mining trenches, an old gaol and courthouse or relax and have a barbecue in the Heritage Park which has a gazebo and barbecue facilities and a range of heritage mining equipment for the kids to play on. There are also barbecue facilities at the Information Sign and parks on the South-West Highway at the Blackwood Road turn-off into Greenbushes.

Whilst on the walk take a trip to the top of the public mine lookout and view the open cut mining operations. There are excellent information boards at the lookout which provide an insight into the area's mining history. You can also see a giant tyre from one of the haulpaks at the mine… and get an idea of the scale of the operations. And for a window into the history of the area you can view a "miner's hut" constructed by a local resident to give visitors an idea of what it was like to live in the late 1800's.

Why not take the family to the Greenbushes Pool. It's a natural pool with toilets and a playground set in beautiful bushland a short drive out of town on Spring Gully Road.

There's also plenty to do at Thomson Park on Blackwood Road. There are swings, slides, a grassed oval, half basketball court and a skate park adjacent to the Shire Hall.

The Sports Complex on Blackwood Road at the northern entrance to Greenbushes has hard court basketball and tennis courts and a grassed playing field. Playground equipment is also provided.

There are public toilets located at the Discovery Centre, at the rear of the Shire Hall and at the rear of the Old Roads Board Building next to the Discovery Centre on Blackwood Road.
