Whiteman Park

Whiteman Park is a 4,000-hectare conservation and recreation reserve in Whiteman, City of Swan, about 22 km northeast of Perth, Western Australia. Established in 1986, it combines natural bushland, wetlands and recreational facilities. It houses Caversham Wildlife Park, heritage tram and train rides, motor museums and walking trails. Notable for its blend of nature, heritage transport and family attractions within Perth's Swan Valley region.

Visitors can expect a large open reserve of native bushland, wetlands and parkland with sealed roads and walking trails connecting distinct precincts. The park contains Caversham Wildlife Park, Revolutions Transport Museum, Tractor Museum, heritage tram and Bennett Brook Railway rides, Woodland Reserve, Mussel Pool and children's playgrounds. Facilities are spread across the site, with picnic areas, barbecues, cafes and a visitor information centre. The setting is flat to gently undulating with eucalypt woodland and seasonal wetlands.

The park is named after Lew Whiteman (1903-1994), who acquired land in the area in 1939. The Western Australian Government acquired the land for conservation and recreation in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and Whiteman Park was officially opened in 1986 as a major metropolitan regional park combining natural conservation, heritage transport collections and public recreation.

The park lies on the traditional lands of the Whadjuk Noongar people. It preserves natural bushland and wetlands of cultural and environmental value and maintains heritage transport collections including historic trams and rail stock significant to Western Australia's transport history.
