Memorial services
Kings Park and Botanic Garden is an important place to many Western Australians. It is a place for remembrance, recognised by the many significant historical and cultural public memorials.
Memorial Groups
Many of Kings Park's memorials acknowledge a specific group, or an event of significance that is commemorated. Ex-service groups and other recognised associations are required to make a booking for their service, these bookings do not incur a fee.
Memorial services at the State War Memorial require written permission from the RSLWA. Ex-service organisations should contact the RSLWA directly on (+61 8) 9287 3799 or via events@rslwa.org.au. A copy of RSLWA permission is to be included with the application to BGPA. RSLWA approval for all other organisations will be sought by the Bookings Office during the booking process.
If you wish to have a social gathering following your memorial service please refer to the Parties and Picnics section to make a booking. Please note that fees apply.
