Covering 437 hectares, Bold Park is one of the largest remaining bushland remnants in the urban area of the Swan Coastal Plain.
Flora and FaunaBanksia and Tuart woodland covers most of the park with outcrops of species rich Limestone Heath and Flood Gum Wetland around Camel Lake. The vast variation in topography and aspect leads to a complexity in habitats supporting over 1000 native species of flora, fauna and fungi.
Bold Park’s vision is to be identified as a world-recognised urban wilderness enjoyed, studied and managed with the community.
In 1936 Bold Park was established as a place “...for the people of Perth” (Perth City Council, 1936). It was named after William E. Bold, the longest serving Town Clerk of the City of Perth from 1900 to 1944.
Bold Park was declared an A-class reserve in 1998 for its high conservation, landscape and recreation values. The Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority is working towards restoring the park through effective bushland management involving research, restoration and weed control.
