Top Rated Parks to Visit in Fremantle

"Rising above the Swan River on the city's western flank, the 400-hectare, bush-filled expanse of Kings Park is Perth's pride and joy. At the park's heart is the 17-hectare Botanic Garden, containing over 2000 plant species indigenous to WA. In spring there's an impressive display of the state's famed wildflowers. A year-round highlight is the Lotterywest Federation Walkway, a 620m path including a 222m-long glass-and-steel bridge that passes through the canopy of a stand of eucalypts."

"A serene and sprawling public space close to the waterfront, Esplanade Park is great for picnics, sunbathing, or a spin on the giant Skyview (Ferris) wheel.

If not, we recommend a little trip to this Perth institution, located just 30km out of town and guaranteed to take at least a full day to tackle. Set within 4000 hectares of natural bushland, entry is free to explore picnic grounds, playgrounds, bushwalking trails, craft villages and two different dog parks!"

"Whiteman Park is a unique recreation and conservation reserve that covers nearly 4,000 hectares of natural bushland and leisure facilities in Perth’s northern suburbs. Whiteman Park is full of fun and interesting things to do with the kids, every day of the year, and school holidays are no different!. When was the last time you selfied with a koala?"

"The last thing children think they want to do on their holidays is learn, but luckily, Whiteman Park is as fun as it is educational. Caversham Wildlife Park, the Children's Forest and the Woodland Reserve will all teach them the importance of protecting the environment. Is your child passionate about cars?"

"Nestled in amongst the office buildings in West Perth is the charming Totterdell Park. The playground has a soft fall play area with a large metal play frame featuring slides, climbing nets, ramps, monkey bars and a climbing wall. There’s also ample place for kids to kick a footy on the grassed area and lots of space to throw down a picnic rug and enjoy a catch-up with friends and family."

"Thanks to the new $100 million dollar revitalisation of the Scarborough beach front, there is a lot to do in this amazing vicinity- one of which is the new Sunset Hill. Located near the heart of the precinct, Sunset Hill is a tall grassy area overlooking the beach and ocean below. Grab some food at your choice of the many new restaurants, plonk yourself down and revel in what makes Western Australia great."

"If you’re looking for a playground for the kids to play a whole morning or afternoon away, this is the one!. There is so much to do and see, and there is something for the little kids right up to the bigger kids – with the most popular attraction being the big volcano that shoots out “steam” (vaporised water) every 15-20mins. It has a pathway that winds up to the – it’s wide enough that you can push the pram up there if you want to."
