Bold Park Tuesday Evening Walk (Internal Trails)
Bold Park, Tuart Car Park, Perry Lakes Drive, City Beach, AUJoin us for a workout along the internal bush trails of the beautiful Bold Park near City Beach. Expect a brisk hike, with an average speed of around 6kph, on undulating bush tracks with a few significant hills thrown in for fun.
At about 6km in length, this one hour workout is a great way to finish the day.
These hikes are intended for fit, regular walkers who are looking for more of a workout in nature as opposed to a gentle evening stroll.
So you don't get lost. Here is the map.

King's Park outer & inner loop (14km)
Koorak Kings Park, 37 Kings Park Road, Kings Park 6005, Western Australia, AUThis is a walk through King's Park with a difference using tracks less traveled. We have selected a route that loops around the outer boarder of the park and then the inner part of the park but as far away from the roads as possible. We are trying to experience a sense of our native bushland away from other walkers and bike riders and yet be close to the city. I have even managed to find one of my famous 'goat tracks'. đ
At this stage the weather looks perfect.
Coffee and relax afterwards for those who can stay.
Where
Carpark near Koorak Café, King's Park. (Click on map for the exact GPS meeting point)
Difficulty
Mainly compacted dirt tracks with a few bitumen paths. No hills of any significance. Expect an easy walk but given the distance you should be walking fit and able to handle 14km at a reasonable pace (5.5 to 6 km/h). We should complete the walk in just under 3 hours.
What to bring
Water, good walking shoes, hat & sunscreen, (umbrella or spray jacket if the rain gods are angry).
Café after the walk
Stay back and share a chat, coffee and bite to eat at the Koorak Café after the walk. They have sparkling water on tap!
Toilets
Near the café and several places along the walk. Just ask....
