Explore Parks WA

There’s only one way to celebrate World Trails Day this Saturday 6 June… and that’s by getting out on a trail.
And we’ve got plenty of trails to choose from.
Horse trails, mountain bike trails, wheelchair and pram accessible trails, trails with sweeping views, trails through tunnels, trails through enormous trees, along beaches, through forests, and up hills and so much more.
Whether you’re heading out for a big adventure or just a short wander, there’s a trail waiting for you.

Exciting changes are on the way for William Bay National Park!
Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks will soon feature safer, more accessible paths, steps, boardwalks and viewing platforms.

Work kicks off in June and includes an accessible lookout over Greens Pool plus a back‑of‑beach boardwalk - perfect for relaxing and taking in the stunning views.

The park will remain open during construction, though some paths and trails may be closed at times - alternative access routes will be available where possible. Elephant Rocks beach will likely be closed for the duration of the works.

Thanks for your patience while we make these improvements and, if you'd like to know more about the project https://www.dbca.wa.gov.au/management/park-and-infrastructure-projects/william-bay-national-park-infrastructure-project

What a storm! We hope you stayed safe.

Things are starting to settle but there’s still plenty of clean-up ahead across our parks.

If you’re heading out, please take extra care on roads and trails - there may be fallen branches, uprooted trees, debris, or other hazards that haven’t been cleared yet and be aware that trees and limbs may fall unpredictably and without warning.

Some park facilities may also be damaged or temporarily unavailable following the storm.

Our teams are out there working through it, but it may take a little while to get everything back to normal. Please follow signage and redirections and keep yourself safe.
