  • We visited this large and lovely park. There are nice walking paths, a bridge, fountains, statues and lots of flowering plants. There is a great view of Perth city from here. The park is well maintained with beautiful lawns too. A great place to visit for some greenery and fresh air.
  • Came here on a hot summer day and while we nearly melted to death we really enjoyed the gardens / park. This is such a cool place I could see how people spend every weekend here the views are amazing, the gardens are spectacular / beautiful and the amount that there is to do is unbelievable. We only spent a few hours here due to the hot weather but we would come back for sure. The blue cat (free) drops you off right at the entry which is so convenient. There is no entry fee to the gardens either which is really great. There are a few walks you can do which are outlined on the information sign. We took the 1hr walk and it was about 1.5hrs after all our stopping & looking. Lots of Aussies were there for a jog and for food at the cafe (forgot to take pics). I would highly recommend to come back for a full morning of walking and eating at the cafe which looked to have a really nice selection of food. Note: if visiting Perth for the first time do note that they have free city bus transportation called CAT that will take you to all the sights for free! So convenient and did I say free! There are blue, yellow, red and purple line (if I remember correctly). You can download the CAT app too to check bus arrival timings but most of the buses were white frequent, we never waited more than 5-7min.
