Rockingham Lakes Regional Park

Rockingham Lakes Regional Park is a coastal nature reserve in Western Australia featuring wetlands, woodlands, and limestone formations spread across a large area. The park contains multiple lakes and different landscape types that visitors can explore through established walking paths.

The grounds served as an artillery range during World War II, leaving traces of military use that remain part of the park's history. This period shaped how the land developed after the war ended.

The wetland systems within the park provide essential habitats for numerous bird species protected under international agreements and Australian environmental laws.

Wear sturdy footwear and prepare for coastal weather conditions, as the terrain can be exposed and windy. Different park sections can be visited based on your available time and walking preferences.

Ancient thrombolites at Lake Richmond within the park are rare living limestone structures formed over millions of years. Parallel sand ridges nearby also record 7,000 years of sea level shifts in the region.
