About this park
You can sit back and have a barbeque or wander along the 600m sealed King Jarrah path. This is a great place to see wildflowers – it’s at its best between September and November.
Why not come and explore this area with your friends and family and even your dog?!
The star of the show here is King Jarrah himself. At over 45m tall and estimated to be 500 years old, this is one impressive jarrah tree. He’s lucky to still be here. In the early 1900’s, two sleeper cutters had plans to fall this giant. Fortunately for King Jarrah, this dastardly plan reached the ears of Fred Brockman of the Lands and Surveys Department just in time. He raced out to the tree and blazed a broad arrow on it which signified that it was the property of the crown and couldn’t be cut down. When the sleeper cutters arrived at the tree early the next morning, they realised that their plan had been foiled.
King Jarrah is listed on the Significant Tree Register.
