Banksia Explorer Walk

Ready to venture beyond the usual Zamia Trail or Tuart Walk? Join us for a 4-5km walk through some of Bold Park’s quieter, lesser-known tracks. This walk is ideal for those looking for a more fitness-oriented experience, while still enjoying a relaxed pace and friendly company. Over 1.5 hours, we’ll explore a variety of bushland landscapes — from fire-affected areas regenerating with new growth, to stretches of native bushland and a seasonal dampland.
 
Along the way, we’ll enjoy sweeping coastal views and unexpected glimpses of the city skyline. We’ll also pause to chat about the plants, wildlife, and ecological stories that make Bold Park unique, with a particular focus on the seven different species of Banksia that can be found here. Whether you're new to the park or keen to see it from a different angle, this walk offers a refreshing change of pace. Bring water, sturdy shoes, and your curiosity!

This walk is free for anyone to attend, with no booking required - just find our guides at the meeting point.

Wear shoes that are comfortable for walking and come dressed for the forecast weather, including a hat and drinking water. Please note that there are no toilets in Bold Park, with the nearest facilities at Perry Lakes Reserve.

Our events go ahead in rain or shine, however walks will be cancelled if a severe weather warning is in place at the time of the walk.
