About Beeliar Regional Park

Beeliar Regional Park
 

Beeliar Regional Park is located within the metropolitan area of Perth, Western Australia, stretching across approximately 3,500 hectares. The park is recognized for its rich ecological and cultural values, comprising a series of wetlands, lakes, and ancient woodlands that provide vital habitats for native flora and fauna. Spanning areas from Jandakot to Spearwood, it preserves a significant part of the Beeliar people's traditional lands, with various sites holding cultural importance. The park's landscapes include deep wetlands such as Lake Coogee and Thomsons Lake, which are part of the Beeliar Wetlands system. These wetlands are critical for migratory birds, amphibians, and native aquatic species, supporting biodiversity in an urbanizing region. Visitors can enjoy multiple walking trails, picnic areas, interpretive signage, and excellent birdwatching opportunities frequently visited by species like black swans, fairy wrens, and other native birds. The park also features remnants of Banksia woodlands and open jarrah-marri forests. Historically, the land has been used for agriculture, but the regional park designation has allowed for conservation and sustainable recreation. Its proximity to Perth makes it a popular destination for nature lovers, families, and people seeking quiet outdoor experiences close to the city. Exploring Beeliar Regional Park offers a blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and outdoor accessibility, making it a valuable green space for both wildlife and people.
