Kings Park

Kings Park is one of Perth’s most beloved family destinations, offering 400 hectares of stunning parklands overlooking the Swan River and Perth city skyline. The park combines natural bushland, manicured gardens, and family-friendly facilities that make it perfect for visitors with children of all ages.

The park features several excellent playgrounds, including the popular Ivey Watson Playground designed specifically for children under 6, and the Rio Tinto Naturescape, where kids can climb, splash, and explore natural play spaces. Wide, paved paths throughout the park are perfect for prams and strollers, making it easily accessible for parents with young children.

The DNA Tower provides an exciting climbing challenge for older children, while the elevated treetop bridge walk offers families spectacular views of the Perth cityscape. The park includes multiple picnic areas with free BBQ facilities, clean restrooms with baby-changing facilities, and cafes for convenient refreshments.

During spring, the park comes alive with Western Australia’s famous wildflower display, making it an excellent opportunity to teach children about native flora. The free guided walks and Aboriginal cultural tours can be fascinating for families wanting to learn more about the park’s history and significance.

For practical considerations, there is ample parking (including disabled bays), drinking fountains throughout the park, and most areas are accessible with a pram.
