Notices

We rely on our visitors and neighbours to report signs of fire and suspicious activity.

If you see smoke, please phone 000 immediately.

Please be vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour or suspected arson to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

BGPA is working hard to reduce bushfire related risk in Kings Park. This includes ongoing weed removal from the bushland; regular park patrols and extra patrols on days of increased fire danger; along with maintaining clear access tracks to assist in fire response. When a Total Fire Ban has been declared for the Perth region, some areas of the park may be closed to the public as a safety measure.

If you see smoke or fire in the area, please call 000 immediately to alert DFES, who work closely with the BGPA to control fire in Kings Park.

The Kokoda Steps will not be accessible from the base of the scarp from Wednesday 9 April 2025 to allow for scarp re-profiling and restoration works to be undertaken. The steps will still be accessible from the top, but there will not be an exit at the bottom. Please be mindful of this if entering the steps from the top.

Forrest Drive will be closed between Botanic Garden Carpark and Roe Carpark from 9.30am - 12pm on Sunday 4 May 2025.

This road closure will be in place to maintain visitor safety and reduce passing vehicle noise during the annual International Firefighters’ Memorial Day Service. 

Vintage fire appliances will be on display along Forrest Drive on the east side. The service commences at 11.00am at the memorial on Forrest Drive next to the DNA Tower Carpark.

There is currently a trial 4-hour parking limit in place at Jorang Carpark (Next Gen Gym and Royal Kings Park Tennis Club). This limit will be enforced between 7am and 4pm, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays). 

Signage will be in place informing users of Jorang Carpark of the restrictions.

All other carparks within Kings Park will remain unchanged.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Water is a precious resource, and Kings Park is adapting for a changing climate.

We've all felt the effect of increased temperatures and extended dry periods in recent Perth summers. Kings Park relies on groundwater to irrigate our parkland and gardens. To ensure our limited water supply is allocated to areas where it is needed most, we've changed our landscape management practice for the Broadwalk Vista.

The Broadwalk Vista will die off in summer and green up with the first rains of the season. It’s not dead! It's just dormant throughout the dry months.

Parking in Kings Park is restricted to visitors only.

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).

If you 'park and leave' infringements will apply.

For more information refer to the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority Regulations.

Temporary parking on Fraser Avenue will not be provided for buses, limos and cars, and fines will apply.

We have received many complaints and reports of near misses regarding the parking of party buses, limos and cars parked illegally along Fraser Avenue.

Unfortunately, due to the increasing impact on the visitor experience and safety, with the overwhelming number of charter vehicles (Buses, Limousines and Private Charter Vehicles) accessing Kings Park each evening and particularly during the warmer months, temporary parking on Fraser Avenue will no longer be provided. Parking on Fraser Ave without special permission is ILLEGAL and will result in infringements being issued.

However, for buses and limousines, set down zones are available in the Wadjuk Carpark each day and evening. This will provide safe access for your patrons to walk to Fraser Avenue for photos without having to cross any roads.

Alternatively, charter vehicles may park in the allocated street parking along Forrest Drive, near Roe Carpark. This location allows for Perth city and Swan River views at Roe Gardens which is another spectacular and safe option.

For longer bus and limousine stays, please park in Wardong Buspark on May Drive to wait, and then return to the set down zone in Wadjuk Carpark to pick up your patrons.

Adequate parking is available in Wadjuk Carpark, Education Carpark, or along May Drive/Lovekin Drive/ Forrest Drive for private vehicles accompanying charter vehicles.

School ball attendees and Vehicle Hire Companies are required to notify BGPA, with a minimum of one week’s notice, when they will be attending Kings Park for ball photos.
