The Premier of Western Australia has announced mask-wearing in public indoor venues and on public transport will be mandatory in Perth and Peel from 6.00pm Sunday 16 January.

As the COVID-19 situation in WA evolves, the BGPA will continue to provide updates and make operational changes as needed.

For the health of fellow visitors and staff we ask that you adhere to physical distancing requirements where possible, do not enter buildings, cafes, playgrounds or shops if you are unwell and wash your hands regularly. 

Signing-in via the ServiceWA or SafeWA app when entering Kings Park venues is required.

Effective Monday 31 January, double dose proof of vaccination for those aged 16 and older will be required for all hospitality venues in Kings Park. For the full list of double-dose requirements visit the WA Gov website.

Impact of the interim restrictions on Kings Park and Bold Park

The wellbeing of our visitors, volunteers and staff is our number one priority during the current COVID-19 situation. We are closely monitoring and responding to Government health advice and putting extra measures in place to protect our staff, volunteers and visitors.

Two of Perth’s largest and most beautiful parks, Kings Park and Bold Park, remain open to visitors. Given the size of our parks, there is plenty of fresh air and green space to share. However, we recommend 'social distancing' and good personal hygiene be practiced to protect the most vulnerable in our community.

In response to COVID-19, the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority (BGPA) is increasing the cleaning schedule of public restrooms.
