John Oldham Park

John Oldham Park is a landscaped public park on Mounts Bay Road in central Perth, Western Australia, adjacent to the Swan River foreshore near Elizabeth Quay. Named after landscape architect John Oldham, it features an ornamental lake with waterfall and boardwalk, lawns, mature trees and garden beds. The park provides a tranquil green space within the CBD, valued for short walks, photography and views of the river and city skyline.

Visitors can expect a compact, tranquil urban park with paved winding paths, a central ornamental lake with a small waterfall and timber boardwalk, manicured lawns, mature trees and shrub beds. The setting offers seating areas, views toward the Swan River and Perth city, and a quiet environment for walking, photography and picnicking. The park is within easy walking distance of Elizabeth Quay, the Perth CBD and Kings Park.

Named after John Oldham (1907-1999), prominent Western Australian landscape architect and former Government Landscape Architect who contributed to the planning and design of many of Perth's parks and gardens. The park was developed in the late 1960s on land along Mounts Bay Road as part of inner-city beautification and foreshore landscaping works.

Represents Perth's post-war landscape heritage and provides an inner-city recreational green link between the central business district, Swan River foreshore and Kings Park precinct, valued by residents and visitors as a quiet urban retreat.
