Bookings
Bookings are not required to hold a family picnic in the park and BBQ facilities are available to use free of charge at many iconic parks. Visitors are requested to respect the safety and enjoyment of others sharing these spaces.
Approval is required to host corporate, community or private events such as weddings and naming ceremonies. Whilst a formal booking can be made for a specific location within a park, it does not give the hirer sole usage of the location as the park remains available to the public at all times. The booking does, however, restrict any other formal events from taking place at the given location at the same time. A refundable bond (to cover potential parkland damage) may be required dependent on the activity, infrastructure and vehicle access.
Facilities
Please note that gazebos and barbecues are used on a first come, first serve basis.
Barbecues can be used between the hours of 6am and 10pm. Cleaning is undertaken by the City on a weekly basis and it is appreciated that users leave the barbecues in a good condition following each use.
Park aerators are on a timed season schedule. They are operating in summer between the hours of 6am and 6pm and during winter between the hours of 4pm and 6pm. Aerator times can be adjusted for special occasions.
Exercise equipment can be found at Dowitcher Loop Reserve in Gosnells, Castlewood Parkway Reserve in Southern River, Harmony Fields Reserve in Maddington, Langford Avenue Reserve in Langford or Mills Park in Beckenham.
