Kings
Park
Perth's
premier park is located in the heart of the city and spans across
1000 acres of beautiful parklands, botanical gardens and bushlands.
The main entrance to Kings Park is Fraser Avenue which is a spectacular
tree lined boulevard. It is a great place to escape from the hustle
and bustle of the city for some relaxation.

guided walks by volunteers are available daily at 10am and 2pm each
day covering various areas of interest about the park. Guided walks
start near the Aspects Gift Shop on Fraser Avenue.

How
to get to Kings Park:
If
you are coming up Malcolm Road from the city, as you reach the top
of the hill, take a left turn at the roundabout (landmark to watch
out for is the Edith Cowan Clock Memorial) onto Fraser Avenue which
is the main entrance to Kings Park.
Alternatively,
if you are in the city and would like a more strenuous and scenic
walk, start your walk at the intersection of Mount Street and Spring
Street. Then walk over the pedestrian footbridge and take a steep
walk up Mount Street and you will reach Fraser Avenue, the main
entrance to Kings Park. Note that Mount Street is a turn off from
St George's Terrace towards the western end of the Terrace.
If
you are coming along Kings Park Road (heading from Subiaco), take
a right turn at the roundabout onto Fraser Avenue.
