Transport

All cyclists and motorists are required to abide by the Road Traffic Code 2000 and must adhere to signage and directions by the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority. These conditions also apply to visitors using other wheeled recreational devices, such as skateboards, scooters, roller-blades, roller-skates or similar.

Cycling is permitted on all main roads (40 km/h speed limit) and along designated shared use pedestrian/cycle paths (10 km/h speed limit) in Kings Park. All shared pedestrian/cycle paths are identified through signage at the entry to each path.

Cyclists are not permitted in the State War Memorial Precinct, Western Australian Botanic Garden or in the developed parkland areas of Kings Park. Cyclists are welcome to use the roads in these areas.

Motorised bikes

Motorised or electric powered bikes are permitted to use public roads and shared pedestrian/cycle paths (10 km/h speed limit) in Kings Park. Only transportation vehicles required for disability access, such as gophers and electric wheelchairs, are permitted on the pedestrian paths.

Motorised or electric powered bikes are not permitted to generate an output of over 200 watts and people under 16 years of age are not permitted to ride them, whether or not the power is engaged.

Within Kings Park, e-scooters can be hired from May Drive Parkland, Poolgarla Family Area, Fraser Circle, Wadjuk Carpark and Forrest Carpark, and returned to e-scooter parking zones anywhere in the park or within the City of Perth.

Consistent with the City of Perth trial, the share scheme in Kings Park uses e-scooter providers Beam Mobility and Neuron Mobility (Australia) and the same safety rules, parking arrangements and speed limits apply.

E-scooters under the shared scheme are geofenced, and restricted from use within zones such as the WA Botanic Garden, busy parkland areas and Bushland. Geofencing is also in place to limit the speeds of riders within Kings Park. Bird and Neuron are responsible for all aspects of their operations and any issues can be reported directly through their apps, 24 hours a day.

Within Kings Park, e-scooters can travel at up to 10 km/h on footpaths permitting cyclists. E-scooters are restricted to those over the age of 16.

Any e-scooter rider in the park is required to:

• Use only paths permitting cyclists and follow 10 km/h speed limits
• 25 km/h on permitted roads
• Be over the age of 16
• Wear helmets
• Be respectful of pedestrians and other path users
• Be aware of your surroundings

The use of e-scooters is governed by WA’s Road Traffic Code and riders not following the rules can face fines from WA Police.

Electric Personal Transporters (segways) are not permitted anywhere in Kings Park and Botanic Garden unless they are part of an approved organised tour.

Kings Park provides free parking only for those visitors within the park boundaries. Visitors are not permitted to park their vehicle in Kings Park and then leave Kings Park boundaries by any other means (on foot, by bus or in another vehicle).

Verge parking is permitted along Drives unless otherwise stated by signage or line marking. Parking, stopping or standing is not permitted along Fraser Avenue at any time.

The main car park is Wadjuk Carpark, located behind Fraser's Restaurant.
