Hyde Park, Park in City of Vincent, Australia
Hyde Park is a public park in the City of Vincent, Australia, just a short distance from Perth's central business district. It features two lakes, wide lawns, and a sealed walking path that loops around the water, with facilities such as playgrounds, barbecues, and a pavilion.
Before European settlement, the land was part of the Great Lakes District and used by the Noongar people. In the late 19th century, the area was developed into a public park, and it has since been recognized as a State Registered Place for its heritage value.
The name Boodjamooling, used by the Noongar people, is a reminder of the area's first inhabitants and is sometimes mentioned in local signage. The annual Hyde Park Fair, running since 1968, brings the community together with stalls, food, and entertainment, and is one of Perth's longest-running free events.
The park is easy to reach from central Perth and has paths that are flat and suitable for wheelchairs and strollers. It is open all day, and the main entrances are on Vincent and William Streets, with parking available nearby.
The park is divided into 17 zones that can be booked for private events, and it even has electricity for temporary fairground rides. The central lakes are actually two basins, a design that helps with water management and adds to the park's layout.
