"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. There are playgrounds for the kids, majestic Norfolk pines, and it’s close enough to the city that it makes a nice respite from the workday, with local workers and tourists alike enjoying a quiet moment in the park before returning to the real world."
