There are four formal carparks for Bold Park:

• The main carpark, the most northern along Perry Lakes Drive, provides entry to the Western Australian Ecology Centre, the Wildflower Society of Western Australia and the Friends of Bold Park Bushland (in Perry House) and BirdLife WA (in Peregrine House). Parking for people with disability (ACROD permit holders only) is available.
• The Reabold Hill carpark is accessed along Scenic Drive to the top of Reabold Hill and provides ideal parking for the short-term visitor, interested in appreciating the view or walking to the summit lookout via the raised boardwalk. Parking for people with disability (ACROD permit holders only) is available.

Please note that vehicle access to Reabold Hill is restricted to the following times:

1 April to 31 October - 5.30 am to 7.00 pm

Pedestrian and cyclist access is available at all times and it is advisable to carry a torch if you are visiting after dark.

• Tuart carpark on Perry Lakes Drive provides a convenient entry point to the walking trails of the park and the entrance to the interpretive Camel Lake Heritage trail.
• Camel Lake carpark, the most southern along Perry Lakes Drive, provides convenient access to the internal walking trails. This is also the formal entry point for the bridle trail and, as such, the only carpark where horse floats are permitted.
• Banksia carpark is closed for repairs until late 2024. The Wollaston Road carpark, located off Rochdale Road currently provides access to the southern walk trails.
