Where can I take a nine-year-old for a half-day walk in Perth?

We have half a day and want a walk that feels rewarding for a child. Should we use Kings Park or head to the Perth Hills?

    The Perth Hills can make a good separate outing if you already have transport and time for the drive. Pick one trail suited to your child's ability and check its current access and conditions rather than squeezing several walks into the same half day.

    Kings Park is a practical first choice when the half day includes travel from central Perth. You can combine the Lotterywest Federation Walkway with a lookout and adjust the distance to your child's energy. Check park notices before setting out.
