Bigger than New York's Central Park!
Kings Park is one of the largest inner-city parks in the world, even surpassing New York City's Central Park by a whopping 1,000 acres!
Indigenous heritage
The park is not only a beautiful natural space but also holds deep cultural significance for the local Indigenous Noongar people, who have inhabited the area for at least 50,000 years, making them the traditional custodians of this land.
Botanic wonderland
Within Kings Park, you'll find the Western Australian Botanic Garden. It showcases over 3,000 species of native Western Australian plants, including rare and endangered ones (and some that are found nowhere else on Earth!)
Birdwatchers' paradise
Kings Park is home to a remarkable variety of bird species. Birdwatchers will have a field day spotting colourful parrots, kookaburras, and other native birds.
Native wildlife
It's not just plants and birds that thrive in Kings Park; it's a haven for wildlife, including possums, and even Western Australia's state emblem, the numbat.
Arts and culture
Kings Park often hosts outdoor concerts and cultural events, making it a vibrant hub for the arts in Perth.
A really, really old tree!
Kings Park is home to a 750-year-old boab tree named the Gija Jumulu. This tree was transported over 3,200 kilometres from the Kimberley region to its current home.
Free guided walks
Kings Park offers free guided walks, where you can learn about its history, plants, and Indigenous heritage from knowledgeable guides. It's a fun and educational way to explore the park and see parts of it that you may have missed.
