Inglewood: Architecture, Nature and Experiences

Explore Inglewood through several distinct highlights: historic architectural styles, an ecologically significant natural area, and activities around the park, Town Square and swimming pool. As you plan your trip, consider whether local history, playful discoveries or active leisure will shape your stay.

Homes and Local History

Most homes in Inglewood date from before the war; many were built in the Federation or Californian Bungalow style. The Heritage Protection Area designated by the City of Stirling covers most of the suburb. Together, the homes and the protected area give Inglewood’s built character a clear historical focus.

A distinctive clock tower stands at the corner of Beaufort Street and Dundas Road. It is clearly visible to northbound traffic on Beaufort Street. The Inglewood Hotel was built in 1936 and has served as an important gathering place for the local community ever since. These notable landmarks add local points of reference and community history to the picture of the homes.

Nature, Culture and Activities

The Inglewood Triangle Reserve is part of a locally significant natural area and has ecological importance. Nature is therefore a distinct aspect of the suburb, alongside architecture and leisure facilities. If this is important to your trip planning, check the current conditions at the reserve before visiting.

The Inglewood Civic Centre opened in 1991 and includes the local library, an Autumn Centre and a Children's Centre. Together, these facilities add a community-focused place to the suburb’s historic residential character. They also offer a different point of reference in time from the pre-war buildings and the Inglewood Hotel, built in 1936.

Macaulay Park is on Hamer Parade and is home to Inglewood Soccer Stadium. The park has picnic shelters, outdoor exercise equipment and public barbecue areas. Sport, outdoor exercise and places to enjoy a shared meal all come together there. The availability of these facilities may depend on local conditions.

Inglewood Town Square has seven interactive creature-themed activities designed by artist Samantha Hughes. Examples include The Hungry Creature Maze, Movement Worm and Eye Spy Monster. Check current local information about the activities’ availability before visiting.

At Town Square, visitors can also use a trail guide from Stirling Libraries – Inglewood to look for 17 hidden creatures. This offers a specific search activity, distinct from the designed creature-themed activities. Before visiting, check whether the search is currently available on site.

Stirling Leisure – Inglewood has a heated outdoor swimming pool with ten 50-metre lanes and four 25-metre lanes; the water is kept at 27.5°C. Pool specifications may change as a result of redevelopment, so it is advisable to check the facility’s current details before visiting. Stirling Leisure – Inglewood is also home to public artworks by Chris Nixon and Andrew Frazer.
