Kings Park occupies approximately 400 hectares of Mount Eliza overlooking the city of Perth and the Swan River. Situated only a few minutes from the centre of Perth, the Park has much to offer with its sweeping parklands, Botanic Garden, wildflowers (which are spectacular, especially in Spring), and native bushland (two-thirds of the park).
There are extensive city and river views with a panorama to the Darling Scarp. On a clear day, from the top of the DNA Tower in Forrest Drive, the Indian Ocean can be seen to the west. The magnificently sited State War Memorial is also one of several scenic vantage points.
Extensive dual-use paths (pedestrian and bicycle, also accessible to wheelchairs) traverse Kings Park.
The Visitor Information Centre is operated by the volunteer Kings Park Guides. Maps and variety of other literature about Kings Park are available. Kings Park guides invite you to free guided walking tours, available 1000 and 1400 daily throughout the year (except Christmas Day).
There are picnic and barbecue facilities, public toilets and playgrounds at several locations in Kings Park. The Lotterywest Family Area is primarily for children aged up to six years old and disabled children, this area is served by Stickybeaks Cafe. Stickybeaks Cafe is open 0830 -1700 daily. Synergy Parkland is primarily for children over six years of age and features Zamia Cafe. Zamia Cafe is open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week.
