One of the world's largest inner-city parks, bigger than NYC's Central Park. The Lotterywest Family Area has an incredible nature-inspired playground, the Rio Tinto Naturescape lets kids build cubbies and climb, and the treetop walkway offers sweeping Swan River views. Most activities are free.

A Real Parent's Story
A free park that felt like a secret
“We spent a full day at Kings Park without spending a single dollar.”
Read full story
I was skeptical about a 'free park' being a highlight, but Kings Park blew us away. The Lotterywest playground has a 10-metre climbing net. We walked the treetop boardwalk and saw the entire Swan River. Best part: not one dollar spent.
