With a rich and diverse biotic environment, undulating dune system, extensive trail network, and proximity to both Perth City and the coastline, Bold Park is a favourite for schools, naturalists, researchers and sporting groups. The construction of a boardwalk to the summit of Reabold Hill and the installation of a new lookout and shade shelter, have increased the popularity of Bold Park as a potential wedding venue.
