The volunteer Kings Park Guides provide one of the most high profile services to visitors in Kings Park. They volunteer Guides staff the Visitor Information Centre, lead daily Guided Walks and get involved in numerous activities throughout the year. The Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority greatly values the important role the Guides play and provides targeted training to assist in their endeavours. Monthly meetings and a special activity program enable all guides to continue their ongoing learning.

Recruitment for the Kings Park Guides follows the successful completion of a Guide Training Course, which is conducted, on average, every two years. The 2008 course will be run from 30 July to 19 November and we are now seeking expressions of interest for registration in this course.
