Bold Park


Bold Park is an urban bush land area in the North of Perth, in the suburb of City Beach. On  the one side of the road (Perry Lakes Drive), there is a park with the usual walking and cycling paths, picnic tables, BBQ areas and playgrounds. On the other side of the road, there is the reserve with several walking trails. The park itself is already a very nice area to walk, have a bbq or discover new species. When we went back in June last year, we came across some lovely kookaburra birds perching on some trees.


The reserve has several trails on its own and two entrances. There is a map on each entrance, indicating where you are and the estimated walk time. We started our walk at around 1:30.p.m., just after lunch from the Tuart Car Park. We then walked across the Zamia Trail. As we walked up the slope, we could perfectly see the city from behind. There are also signposts along the trails, so you will not get lost. 


We then went the Reabold Hill which provides a spectacular view on the city and on the Indian Ocean. There are even maps which depicts how the area looked years ago. From there, we could spot Rottnest Island and Fremantle.


After that, we return to the Zamia Trail, took the Thornbill Walk and went through Yoorn Walk to reach the Camel Lake Car Park. On the Yoorn Walk, there is a Camel Lake Heritage Trail which you can also do. We finished our walked by 3:30.p.m. This was a really lovely and leisurely walk.
