Ashby: A shared path and two park features

Ashby offers practical starting points for planning a trip around two different interests: active travel and playgrounds. A shared walking and cycling path runs along Carosa Road; Crivelli Park has play equipment, and a new playground was built in Elton Park in 2019. These local features can help you organise your own ideas for the day. If you are looking for holiday accommodation in Ashby, first consider which activities matter most to your travel group.

A short route for active travel

The two-metre-wide shared walking and cycling path runs for 175 metres along the west side of Carosa Road, from Monet Drive to Venne Lane. It is intended for shared use by pedestrians and cyclists. The path was intended to improve access and encourage active travel across the City of Wanneroo’s path network. For your planning, it is a short, clearly defined point of reference if you would like to get around on foot or by bike.

The measurements answer different questions: 175 metres is the length of the section, and two metres is its width. Together with the named endpoints, they provide a specific sense of location. This lets you think of the path as a short route for shared walking and cycling and consider whether this kind of activity suits your plans for the day.

Play equipment and a construction year to note

Crivelli Park in Ashby has play equipment. This is a practical point of reference for families who want to include such facilities in their plans for the day. A new playground was built in Elton Park in 2019, with work completed two months ahead of schedule. This timing relates to the construction work at that time. If the current condition is important for your visit, check the latest condition of the play equipment or playground beforehand.

The parks also differ in terms of timing: Crivelli is associated with play equipment, while Elton is associated with a new build from 2019. For your planning, these offer two different points of focus: play equipment as a park feature, and a construction project with a clear historical reference. Both may appeal to different interests within your travel group.

Choose the focus for your stay

When looking for holiday accommodation in Ashby, you can use these differences to set your priorities. Ask yourself whether the shared path or the playground features are a better fit for your stay. This decision can help you match your choice of location to your travel group’s plans for the day. If you have several interests, you can weigh the path and parks as separate ideas for the day. A day focused on activity and a park outing do not have to be equally important; you decide what takes priority during your stay.
