King’s Park, Perth picnic spot #2
One of the most famous destinations in Western Australia is also one of its biggest picnic spots. (And from Perth CBD, it is only 2.1km away.)
Thanks to King’s Park and Botanic Garden, Perth has an even bigger share of tourists flocking to see the local sights and scenery, lights and greenery.
Know what’s even more epic? At King’s Park, there’s no entry fee to enjoy your favourite boss sandwiches.
And if you’re wondering if it’ll be too crowded, no, probably.
Why?
This natural beauty from our very own Perth is famous for being at least 600 hectares larger than Central Park in New York, USA. Talk about a lot of space for picnic sandwiches!
Speaking of picnic sandwiches, fancy a chicken parma? Look at our Mean Boss Parma.
Of course, King’s Park and Botanic Garden isn’t just a great place to eat. If you go for some afternoon tea, you can also take an evening stroll.
(It’s actually romantic. If ‘ya fancy being outdoors during Valentine’s Day 2025, a Valentine’s picnic at King’s Park and Botanic Garden doesn’t sound shabby at all!)
Year-round, trees light up along Fraser Avenue, giving you a nice welcome… to another picnic spot.
Riverside Drive, Perth picnic spot #3
A lesser-known gem but equally beautiful–and equally in Perth–, Riverside Drive connects to King’s Park via Fraser Avenue.
If the name sounds familiar, ‘ya might have been to an event in Point Fraser.
Point Fraser
- Point Fraser is a series of terraces and boardwalks along Swan River.
- It’s a venue for low-impact events like small weddings.
- The idyllic Point needs reservations, but ‘ya can find the same peace just outside its borders!

Don’t sue us for that shameless plug! But if ‘ya gonna take us to court, let’s talk about the next picnic spot in Perth: The Supreme Court Gardens.
Supreme Court Gardens, Perth picnic spot #4
Supreme Court, Perth is the last place ‘ya wanna be.
Handling the biggest crime cases and most expensive civil concerns… Strolling into the highest state court in all of Western Australia is no walk in the park.

The Supreme Court Gardens is a picnic spot Perth city workers are all too familiar with. Here, ‘ya see them having impromptu picnics with their lunch.
