Walks and Talks
Led by Kings Park's expert staff and volunteers, there are more than 100 walks, talks and wellness events on offer in Kings Park and Bold Park this September.
These springtime strolls offer the chance to explore and learn more about Perth's most loved parks while they're at their blooming best.
The Kings Park Volunteer Guides are offering several new walks on Mondays in September. Do you love how nature and art so often merge in our environment? The new 'Nature in Art' walk will guide you around some of the park's most beautiful art pieces.
Do you want to enjoy a tranquil hour on a Monday morning? If this appeals to you, a 'Walk on the Quiet Side' will take visitors around the beautiful Roe Gardens.
History and culture buffs will love the 'In the Footsteps of Women' and 'Connecting the Park and River' walks.
Our other much-loved events back in 2018 include the popular 'Heart of Kings Park' bushwalk, 'What Bird Is That?' and our 'Gija Jumulu Boab Tree' talk. The boab tree talks will be particularly special this year, as the mighty tree celebrates its 10-year anniversary in Kings Park.
Visit Zamia Cafe at May Drive Parkland for one of many wellness events on offer this September including tai chi and yoga.
Most events are free but places are limited. Register to avoid disappointment.
