Discover the joy of hiking as a family
Looking for a fun, healthy way to spend quality time with your children? The Family Hiking Program, a partnership between HikeWest and Nature Play WA, is designed for families with children aged 5–12 years — no hiking experience needed!

Through research and conversations with local families, we’ve identified the hurdles that keep many families from exploring the outdoors – like lack of experience, safety concerns, or not knowing where to go. Our program is designed to tackle these issues, making bushwalking accessible and fun for everyone.
