John Forrest National Park, Nature reserve in City of Swan, Australia.

Located in the Darling Scarp, this 26.78 square kilometer park contains numerous walking trails through jarrah forests, seasonal waterfalls, and abundant wildlife.

Established in 1900 as Greenmount National Park, it was renamed in 1947 to honor Sir John Forrest, the first Premier of Western Australia.

The Jane Brook Valley holds importance for Whadjuk Nyoongar people, who used this ancient travel route across the Darling Scarp before European settlement.

The park features barbecue facilities, picnic areas, nature playground, and multiple walking paths including the 16-kilometer Eagle View Trail and shorter accessible routes.

The Swan View Tunnel, stretching 340 meters through the park, transformed from a railway passage into a walking path, constructed using basic tools in the 1890s.
