Esplanade Reserve, Public reserve in central Perth, Australia.
Esplanade Reserve is an extensive recreational area stretching along Perth Water in the city center. The space features open grassy fields, large mature trees, and pathways that people use for walking, picnicking, and outdoor activities.
The reserve was founded in 1880 on reclaimed land along Perth Water's northern shore. Following its creation, it quickly became a popular destination for leisure and public events in Perth.
Since its creation, this place has hosted major public gatherings and celebrations. Today residents and visitors use the spaces for concerts, markets, and festivals that shape local community life.
The area is easily walkable with several entry points from the city center. Visitors should expect open spaces and dress appropriately for the season and weather conditions.
The land was transferred to Perth in 1880 with the express condition that it must serve public recreation in perpetuity. This legal protection means the space cannot be converted to other purposes.
