Langley Park

Langley Park is a large 11.6-hectare open grassed reserve on Riverside Drive in central Perth, Western Australia, fronting the Swan River. Created by reclamation of river land between 1921 and 1935, it is the city's principal open space for recreation and major public events. Notable for its flat expanse, river setting and views of the Perth skyline, it is used for jogging, picnics, informal sports and large festivals including Australia Day celebrations.

Visitors can expect a vast, flat, open grassed field stretching along the Swan River foreshore opposite the Perth central business district. The park has paved shared walking and cycling paths along Riverside Drive and the river edge, scattered trees, seating and open lawns with unobstructed views of the city skyline and river. It is an informal recreation area for walking, jogging, cycling, picnicking and photography, and frequently hosts large public events, markets and festivals when not in everyday park use.
