Spectacular riverside park |
South Perth foreshore, Mill Point Road South Perth Perth, WA 6151 Australia +61 (0)8 9474 0777 http://www.southperth.wa.gov.au |
Enjoy the splendid sunset scenes and sparkling Swan River while cycling or walking along the South Perth foreshore. Established in the 1970s, Sir James Mitchell Park was initiated specifically for passive recreation and it serves its purpose superbly. The only building in the entire area is the old Wesley College Boatshed at Coode Street Jetty. The park stretches along the river from Mends Street jetty to McCallum Park at the Causeway Bridge. There are several wetland areas and a wonderful paperbark swamp that is worth a visit. Review © 2007, Wcities |
