Leave behind the stresses and strains of city life. Bid adieu all its clamor and
chaos and head out for the soothing strains of nature and that too, without having
to travel too far. This is Perth for you, an intriguing blend of city life and
the bounties of nature and none of the jarring clashes. The parks and gardens
in Perth are the natural retreats for both the city-weary Perth local and the
tired traveler.
About The Parks and Gardens In Perth
In Australia, parks and gardens are to be found at almost every nook and cranny
of a city. There are many parks and gardens in Perth, some well within the city
limits that offer ample opportunities to rest in the lap of nature, enjoy a
picnic or set off for some pleasant walking and biking trips.
The Kings Park & Botanic Garden is the most popular of the Perth parks
and gardens and is only a short walk from St. George's Terrace, the prime thoroughfare
of Perth. It is huge expanse of lush green fields interspersed by shady nooks
and crannies, interesting walk and bike trails and acres of bush lands for you
bask in the thrill of exploring the natural delights. This is also the place
to catch a rare glimpse of indigenous Australian fauna like the red and green
kangaroo paw, and some others that are resident to only the Kings Park and Botanic
Garden.
Equally well-known amongst the various parks and gardens in Perth is the Burswood
Park, the majestic Swan Fountain and the Swan Shell serving as the most recognized
landmarks of the park. The park is also a venue for choice for outdoor gatherings
and functions.
The Perth parks and the Perth gardens also double up as art centres in their
own right, places where you can browse through fine specimens of Australian
culture, arts and crafts. Take for instance, the Whiteman Park. This is a place
not only renowned for its exquisite natural beauties but also for the cultural
performances that it hosts and the quaint shops that sell local handicrafts.
Abundant natural charms also reside at the Supreme Court Gardens, another one
of the popular parks and gardens in Perth, Australia. This is a place where
you can also catch up on your Perth history with visits to the Supreme Court
building (once the Court House of the city and the very first one at that too).
This is the venue for the annual "Carols by Candlelight" program,
held on Christmas and attracts legions of loyalists.
In a country where nature is resplendent in all her glories, it is no wonder
that the parks and gardens in Perth would be the most popular and the most delightful
of the Perth tourist attractions.
