    STUNNING PARK RIGHT IN THE CITY. Harold boas Gardens is a beautiful Parkland set amongst luscious trees and Greenery in the suburb of West Perth. It has a children's play area which has lots of shady trees and benches where you can keep an eye on your kids while they play. Harold boas Gardens is very popular with City workers at lunchtime, and also very popular spot for wedding photos. It has plenty of native plants and lots of Shady Tall Trees where you can sit under and take shade from the sun whilst enjoying the beautiful soft green grass and the peace and serenity it comes with. There's plenty of places to hide away with lots of benches to sit on and plenty of rubbish bins to put your lunch rubbish leftovers in. It also has it's own running Lake with lots of Wildlife including ducks. I highly recommend a visit anytime.

    A hidden garden of lawns and rainforest and waterfalls. There is a challenging climbing tree growing over the lower pond and one day it will topple over. This park is perfect for nice photos.

    Very beautiful park which is maintained very thoroughly. A large connected water feature runs through it all, and numerous park benches scattered around. Parking is expensive in the area, though. Has a small park for children. Ducks in the pools. And I saw 1 fish :))

    I like the little pond and the small rippling fountain inside the park. The park is spread across quite a good amount of land. The little wooden bridge, I find, adds more beauty to the park and is a point of attraction for the young kids. Plenty of black swans are visible here at the park. It is a nice place to bring the young kids who can enjoy the rides here. Even for the parents, there are plenty of benches all around the park. I enjoyed basking in the sun, sprawling on the beautifully maintained lush green surface of the park.

    Lovely shady Park with a multi-tiered water course providing a calming background sound as it cascades gently down the layers. Friendly rats and bin-chickens to keep you entertained.

    We acknowledge the Wadhjuk people of the Nuungar nation who are the traditional inhabitants and custodians of this land and pay homage to their elders past present and upcoming. Not as full of wildlife as most parks I’ve been to in the city but a lush garden with loads of cool shade. The running water adds to a relaxing atmosphere and there’s a surprisingly diverse array of flora in such as small space. It is also a fairly quiet park. An absolute gem.

  • 3/5 Vitaly V. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful place, would be ideal for us residents to walk the kids out... if not for the anti-social behaviour of certain types taking liberty of doing absolutely inappropriate things in front of the general public, children included. (Not that they care at all). It it time for the force to start paying attention and bring law and order back to our municipality of West Perth.

    Great hidden little park in amongst the hustle and bustle of West Perth with a neat waterfall that provides some tranquility.

  • 5/5 J M. 6 months ago on Google β€’ 265 reviews
    Beautiful park within easy reach via car, public transport or walking. The park has magnificent landscaped gardens, including a waterfall feature that will provide for some wonderful wedding photos or just a picnic with friends or family. In addition, the tree canopy provides for a much shade, especially as Perth starts to get hot during summer.

  • 4/5 Chris H. 4 years ago on Google
    Very pleasant green space in the heart of Perth. Has water feature, playground, toilets. Features large, long established trees of different types, many identified with plaques for interest. Well-kept gardens and lawns. Easy walk to the City West rail station, and to nearby outlet shopping complex (closest food and coffee).

  • 5/5 Kerrie B. 4 years ago on Google
    I am a marriage celebrant and love this hidden gem for our simple and budget minded ceremonies. The sound of the birds chirping and the waterfall running right in the heart of city is lovely. Be aware that the walk down the aisle can be tricky. It is not flat and a little slippery. Lots of afternoon shade options for those summer weddings.

  • 5/5 Helen J. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful nature gem amongst city buildings. Brilliant!!

  • 4/5 Max A. 2 years ago on Google
    Very pleasant spot of calm in West Perth. The ducklings hatched a few weeks back and are moving around the waterways. A number of trees are in flower and you can find some dappled shade to sit and enjoy the colours. Don't feed the birds, the ibis get a bit uppity.

    Nice park in the city if you have spare time or to have lunch and relax.

  • 5/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    Tiny little park hidden away in the back streets, good for a 20 minute stroll, plenty of well maintained grass to sit on & admire the nice views over the ponds, plenty of benches too.

  • 5/5 Nancy W. 1 year ago on Google
    A stunning location for a wedding ceremony. There were steps leading up to a small waterfall with a moat surrounding a garden area with a bridge. Plenty of parking and easy to find.

    Cute park if you're looking for gorgeous lawns and beautiful plants. Made us feel like we were in the secret garden! The playground is a bit plain, but okay.

  • 4/5 Mike B. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place to sit on a bench and forget the office grind for a few minutes. Busy on nice days but if you are prepared, plenty of grassed spots in the shade. Take something to sit on, the grass may be damp.

  • 5/5 Habib R. 3 years ago on Google
    This park is a quite and beautiful oasis in the city. It is always green and provides cool shades during the hot summer of Perth. It has a small playground too for the kids. The small pool and stream that forms a small waterfall add the serenity of the park. Parking is available on the streets bordering the park. Love it.
