Guided walks in Bold Park provide a unique bushland experience. Led by the Friends of Bold Park Bushland volunteer guides, the walks are held seasonally and showcase a stunning array of native plants and animals. They bring to life the park’s fascinating biodiversity, geology, turbulent history and current conservation projects.

All guided walks are free and bookings are not required for individuals. Please contact the Friends of Bold Park Bushland if you have a group greater than five people who wish to attend.

Visitors are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes, come dressed appropriately for the weather and to bring drinking water. Walks require a moderate level of fitness.

Reabold Hill Boardwalk

Spectacular views can be seen from the Reabold Hill Boardwalk, the highest natural point on the Swan Coastal Plain in the metropolitan area. The raised boardwalk is designed for disabled access and interpretive signage is featured along the way to the summit where visitors can rest on the seats with shelter.

Camel Lake Heritage Trail

The Camel Lake Heritage Trail explores the early use of Bold Park by the Noongar people and European settlement as a limestone quarry, camel quarantine station and treasured bushland area. In 1875, after his historic trek from Port Augusta to Perth, Ernest Giles rested his camels by a lake on the Limekilns Estate, now known as Camel Lake. During the 1890’s it became a temporary quarantine station for camels imported for transportation to, and from the goldfields.

Interpretive signage placed along the trail informs visitors of the area's history, flora, fauna and fungi. The Camel Lake Heritage Trail brochure provides further information and is available for download from the brochures section or as a hard copy from the Western Australian Ecology Centre.
