The layout and function of Perth Park has been significantly influenced by input from local community and key stakeholders across the sporting and events industry.

The Park will be home to a 12,000-person outdoor amphitheatre, a multi-use track supporting cycling and an annual motorsport event, and a multi-use building featuring a new hospitality venue and function spaces.

Perth cyclists will enjoy a dedicated criterium circuit for everyday training, lit up to AusCycling training standards, while for serious competitors a 1.25km event track can be activated without incurring traffic management costs or disrupting public roads.

Enhancing the parkland has been a major focus of the design work. Tree canopy will more than double, with over 600 trees being planted across the park. New walking and cycling paths will be established, along with a range of amenities including a children’s playground, exercise zones, limestone walking tracks, an outdoor basketball half-court, shaded gathering areas, barbeques, and public toilets will be incorporated into the precinct, encouraging year-round use.

Appropriate lighting will provide for a safe and enjoyable environment at night, enhancing the character of the landscape while also respecting the surrounding residents.

The Park design creates a seamless connection with the stadium precinct and other sporting and entertainment locations on the peninsula.

It is an enhanced parkland for everyday enjoyment that can be transformed into celebrations of sports, arts, and entertainment.
