Kings Park is both one of the world's largest and most beautiful inner city parks and also a rich cultural heritage site. It is home to the spectacular Western Australian Botanic Garden, which displays over 3,000 species of the State's unique flora - a sight unlike anywhere else in the world. With cafes, bushland walk trails, immaculate gardens and a variety of children's play areas, leave plenty of time on your visit to discover the many sides of Kings Park.
