 King's Park by Xemx
My favourite spot is the Lotterywest Federation Walkway . The walkway features a 52-metre arched steel and glass bridge which passes through the treetops. From there you can view several wildflower gardens, cross the beautiful water garden valley and enter the marri woodland forest.
Also interesting is Honour Avenue which is tree-lined. Each tree has a plaque and was planted in dedication to individual servicemen who fought in the wars. There are also the War Memorial and Flame of Rememberance to see.
The Park has a visitor information centre, and a cafe, an aboriginal gallery and a small wishing well. Guided walks are available daily from 10am to 2pm.

Kings Park is Perth's playground - everybody's backyard - and the people of Perth really do make wonderful use of its 1000 hectares of bushland, walking trails and cultivated garden spaces. A favourite spot for families is the Western Power Parkland- a wonderful place for children and adults alike, with its mixture of water, playground areas for children of all ages, shady lawns, discovery trails and - on summer evening - outdoor cinema. If you really want to make a day of it , you can bring a picnic, make use of one of the free barbecues (watch out for cheeky sausage-stealing kookaburras) or choose to eat at the Zamia Cafe that overlooks the Parkland. There's plenty of parking but be prepared for things to be busy at weekends especially - it's become a favourite place for big family gatherings - I said it was an extension of all our own back gardens! Leave a Comment Address: May Avenue, King's ParkDirections: Look out for the signs as you drive through the park. King's Park is never closed but there is no night lighting at the Parkland apart from when the outdoor cinema is operating. There's a 40kph peed limit all through the park.Website: http://www.westernpowerparkland.com.au/

 Mates by TheWanderingCamel
Where you see two together, it's to mark brothers, mates who were inseperable in life or maybe even a father and son who lost their lives in different wars. So many markers, so many lives.
The cenotaph standing on the edge of the Mt Eliza scarp and visible from all around is the most obvious monument in the park but Western Australians left home to fight for King and Country in many wars and the park is home to many memorials, large and small. Entering the park by the main gate, the first large monument you'll see, over on your left, is the South African War memorial, commemerating the men who fought for the Empire at the very beginning of the 20th century. The most recent addition is the Vietnam Memorial sculpture and pavilion in the middle of the park. Leave a Comment

Kings Park is an excellent place for long walks. It occupies an area of 4sq km and is also home to the Botanical Gardens and the War Memorial. There is a tree-top walk in the southeastern corner which is open from 9am-5pm.
Kings Park is also the place to go for great shots of Perth's skyline. Leave a Comment

Stretching over 620 meters and taking about 40 minutes return, the walk takes u along the Swan River through many of the parks newly added gardens, Swan river lookouts, and finally though the treetops of the Mari Woodland forest.
The elevated section of the walkway is 220 meters, and towers over 16m high. A 52 meter, glass/steel arched bridge has to be the highlight of the walk.
The walk gives u a birds eye view of mother nature and all the living things within her. A must see if at the park.
For more about the park. Check out their website for all the park has to offer.

 Wow...... by FOotFetish
This is the scene of King Park at night. The trees are shone with different vibrant colour lights.Don't they make the trees look exotic?? Nice to chill out during summer nights.
In summer, there is Sunset Cinema at Kings Park.This means it's an open air cinema and simply just drive and park your car , and catch the movie from there.
The movie program can be obtained at Tourist Information Centre or do a web search for Sunset Cinema at Kings Park. Leave a Comment
