The Apple Fun Park is the biggest free entry playground in Australia. The playground first opened in Easter 2008, the park has play equipment for all ages – toddlers to teenagers.
Situated in the heart of Donnybrook (corner of Collins and Reserve St – off South West Highway) and close to shops, the Apple FunPark is the ideal destination for a day of family fun.
In 2019, the Shire of Donnybrook Balingup secured $1.5 million under Round 3 of the Federal Government’s Building Better Regions Fund to revitalise Donnybrook’s iconic playground. The revitalised Donnybrook Apple Fun Park was officially open on Friday 8 October 2021.
We welcome everyone to enjoy the Fun Park, but please be aware that dogs are not allowed at this location.
