Variety PavilionView venue slideshowVariety pavilionVariety Place (formerly Ernst Wittwer Playground)

Located on Saw Avenue, the Variety Pavilion was opened in 2009 as part of a refurbishment of the Saw Avenue Precinct.

The project was kindly supported by Variety the Children's Charity of WA. The Variety Pavilion is located in shady parkland featuring a nature-based adventure play environment, electric barbecues, drink fountains and pathways.

The much-loved 'Jarrah Log' was brought to Kings Park from Dwellingup in 1978. It now forms part of Variety Place and highlights the important role that Jarrah timber played in the early colony's economy.
