The Authority welcomes those wishing to participate in healthy activities and has a number of ovals and grassed areas suitable for fitness groups within Kings Park and Botanic Garden.

Fees and charges apply to all fitness trainers operating a business, and organised fitness groups wishing to use Kings Park. Written permission from the Authority and compliance with the Terms and Conditions and Botanic Gardens and Parks Regulations 1999 is required. Failure to comply may result in a penalty of up $1500 and / or the fitness trainer being prohibited from operating in Kings Park and Botanic Garden. These conditions are in place to mitigate the impact of Fitness Training on other park visitors, nearby residents and the general conservation of Kings Park and Botanic Garden.

In line with all other bookings that are required by groups using Kings Park, standard booking fees for fitness groups apply. No booking is required for individuals to participate in recreational activities such as jogging, walking or cycling.
