Kinross: Parks, Community Garden and Skateboarding Lessons

Discover Kinross through its specific green spaces and activities. MacNaughton Park has free electric barbecues; Kinross Community Garden is located in the park next to the community centre. Kinross Skate Park offers something different: the City of Joondalup runs skateboarding lessons there for young beginners. This brings together a range of interests—a self-prepared meal outdoors, community gardening and a guided introduction to skateboarding.

MacNaughton Park: Food and Play

The free electric barbecues provide an opportunity to prepare a meal outdoors; they can complement playtime with a shared meal break. A City of Joondalup committee document dated 17 March 2025 also mentions two playgrounds at MacNaughton Park. If these are important to your plans, check the latest park information before your visit. This lets you weigh play and a meal break as separate reasons to spend time in the park.

Community Garden with Harvest Guidelines

Kinross Community Garden is an ecologically sustainable community space that provides nutritious food and hands-on learning. Alongside the barbecues, it gives MacNaughton Park a community-focused and educational dimension. Harvesting is subject to clear conditions: community members can harvest produce under the “Pay it Forward” model when beds are marked “Ready to Harvest”; the harvesting guidelines posted on site also apply. If you are a community member planning to harvest, check the latest guidelines and the signs on the beds beforehand.

Lighting Hours at Falkland Park

Falkland Park offers a different kind of planning information: energy-efficient lighting is available in the evenings until 9:30 pm and in the mornings from 5:30 am until sunrise. These are two separate time windows to bear in mind when planning a visit. While the facilities at MacNaughton Park are more focused on activities and community themes, the lighting hours provide a guide to timing. If these time windows are important for your visit, check the latest park information.

Skateboarding Lessons for Young Beginners

The City of Joondalup runs skateboarding lessons for young beginners at Kinross Skate Park. The lessons provide coaching and guidance on the code of conduct and skatepark use. For young beginners, the program therefore includes both instruction and guidance on using the park. Families planning to attend a specific lesson should check the latest information in the City’s youth program. This will help you match a suitable lesson to your holiday dates.

Choose a Holiday Rental to Suit Your Plans

When looking for a holiday rental in Kinross, it helps to weigh up your different interests: Would you like to share a meal in the park, explore the garden and its harvest, or plan a skateboarding lesson for young beginners? These activities suggest different ways to spend the day rather than prescribing a single itinerary. If a lesson or harvest is a deciding factor, take the latest information into account as well.
