Main image

Bold Park is an urban bushland reserve on the coastal limestone hills immediately northwest of central Perth in the suburb of City Beach, Western Australia. It preserves remnant native vegetation and provides a substantial green space close to the city.

The park contains a network of walking, running and mountain-biking trails, lookouts and native-plant areas; visitors commonly use the reserve for recreational walking and nature observation. Reabold Hill within the park offers elevated viewpoints with views toward the Indian Ocean and Perth’s skyline on clear days.

The area is managed to protect native flora and fauna and to provide recreation for nearby suburbs; seasonal wildflower displays are a notable feature in late winter and spring.

Bold Park is adjacent to City Beach and the western suburbs of Perth, forming a vegetated buffer between the coast and urban development.
