1. Kings Park
Kings Park and Botanic Garden overlooks the Swan River and Darling Range
and showcases an outstanding collection of Western Australia flora. It is a
popular place for picnics, pleasant walks, cultural and ceremonial events.

up of superbly cultivated gardens and open recreational areas.
For Western Australians and for the many interstate and international visitors,
Kings Park and Botanic Garden is a place of inspiration, relaxation, recreation
and wonder. The Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority manages Kings Park
and Botanic Garden in accordance with the Kings Park and Botanic Garden
Management Plan, to ensure the conservation of native biological diversity and
cultural heritage icons, while providing for the diverse range of visitor interests.
