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. 

Whilst our parks remain open, there are some interruptions to visitor services:

The Kings Park Visitor Information Centre is currently closed. Several brochures and maps are available on the website and we encourage you to download a copy in advance of your visit to Kings Park.
