The best view of our City is definitely from the South Perth Foreshore, Kings Park is excellent but for that unobstructed view then look no further..
I have always enjoyed watching the City change with the Sunset from the foreshore.
It looks like there has been a bit of work done on the area since I was last there and the grassed area looks very inviting to sit down and watch people go by.
I understand that the signage advises Dogs only allowed on the paved area is to keep the mess under control,
But I would want my dog to be able to sit with me on the lawn if I was going to watch the Sunset.
the other reason I only have given here a 4 stars is due to Parking.
It is horrendous when it's a busy evening as not only is there not enough in the South Perth Foreshore area but when both sides of road is full nearly only 1 car can fit to drive down street.
We will be back as I said, it's the best view of our City.

The refurbishment from the jetty to the walk towards the Zoo is fantastic. The large wombat, frilly necked lizzard, emus & meerkats just bring the crowds. Our picnic with friends & their children was a great night out to enjoy the river, city views & take in the fresh air.

The area is absolutely beautiful, visited by all sorts of interesting birds including water birds and a vast assortment of people. The views of the city across the Swan River are stupendous. Food trucks often enliven the scene on summer weekend nights. It is a spot for everyone!

Been a long time since we've been down this way. Very well done with plenty of seating and good walking path. Good grassed areas for kids to play on.Despite cool weather, good to see plenty of people utilising the area.
Love the variety of sculptures, unique and make for great photo ops.

Took the ferry across to South Foreshore and had a really enjoyable walk along the waterfront.
We also had a walk round the Scented Gardens which were very fragrant and well worth a visit.
Fantastic views of the city of Perth skyline.
Great little beaches to visit with at least one of them being wheelchair accessible.

Nice spot to walk along, especially around sunset when it’s not too hot. Quite a few people but there’s enough space that it doesn’t matter too much. Plenty of places nearby to grab a bite or beverage too. Parking off the street is limited, may need to consider the underground carpark off The Esplanade.

The South Perth Foreshore runs from the Narrows Bridge to the Causeway. It is an easy track to follow. The grass is green during most of the year. Best way to get there is to take the ferry to Mends St from Elizabeth Quay in the city. There are lots of food and drink outlets in Mends St.

We took the ferry and walked along one afternoon. The views back to Perth are really nice and there seems like a more relaxed feel, as opposed to the cityside. Plenty of people having fun and picnicing and sailing.

This is a lovely open space - just surprising how useless the public toilets are.
My wife needed to use the toilet, but ended up walking to the business district on Mends St to use the facilities in the shopping centre instead.
For a fairly public area, perhaps South Perth should do better.
This will continue to be a pivotal location with the ferry-zoo nexus.

Lovely area between the Narrows Bridge and Causeway to enjoy a stroll or more vigorous exercise or just park the car and enjoy the many amenities that are available and so well maintained. We have previously visited on a couple of occasions for family picnics and celebrations. Certainly more enjoyable during the week for us, no crowds, the amenities available, and a real opportunity to see the area. Green lawns, BBQs, picnic tables, ablution blocks, parking facilities, playgrounds, cafes, restaurants, the jetty. Great views across the Swan and to the Perth skyline.

Please comment on feasibility of walking over the expressway bridge from South Perth to Kings Park. It looks like lots of freeways.

Pedestrians can easily walk across using the lane for bicycles. To avoid the highways keep as close as possible to the shore line. Not difficult or complicated.
