Why Hike Bold Park?

Bold Park is a rare pocket of wilderness in the heart of the city — over 400 hectares of urban bushland rich with native plants, birdlife, and biodiversity. At its crown, Reabold Hill Lookout marks Perth’s highest natural point west of the Darling Scarp, offering sweeping views across the Indian Ocean, Perth’s skyline, and even Rottnest Island. In spring, the trails burst into colour as banksias, wattles, and delicate native orchids line the paths, creating a vibrant wildflower display. For birdwatchers, the park is alive with the calls of black cockatoos, honeyeaters, fairy wrens, and other urban wildlife. And when the day winds down, Bold Park’s west-facing tracks make it one of the most breathtaking spots in Perth to watch the sun sink into the sea.
