Kings Park

Kings Park is a lakeside public park on the northern shore of Lake Burley Griffin in Parkes, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. Part of the Central Basin parklands designed within Walter Burley Griffin's plan for Canberra, it features open lawns, tree-lined paths, and lake frontage. The park contains Aspen Island and the National Carillon, and Blundells Cottage, offering recreational space and views across the lake to the Parliamentary Triangle and surrounding national institutions.

Visitors can expect an open, landscaped lakeside park with grassed areas, mature trees, and paved walking and cycling paths along Lake Burley Griffin. The park provides lake views, picnic and barbecue areas, and access to Aspen Island via footbridge to see the National Carillon. Blundells Cottage, a historic stone cottage, is located within the park. The setting is tranquil and flat, suitable for walking, cycling, picnicking and photography with views to the National Library, Parliament House and Commonwealth Park.
