Langley Park is an open space in the central business district of Perth, Western Australia. Running alongside Riverside Drive, it is grassed, rectangular in shape and has approximate dimensions 900 by 100 metres (2,950 ft × 330 ft). It was created by reclaiming land from the adjacent Swan River between 1921 and 1935, to provide open space near the city. As a pioneer of civil aviation in Western Australia, Major Norman Brearley used the park as an airstrip in the 1920s. That tradition continues with "fly-ins", where small aircraft land in the park. In 2003, to celebrate 100 years of powered flight, 10 aircraft – one representing each decade of the 20th century – landed. Aircraft have also used the park to perform emergency landings. In 1997 a Tiger Moth TMK had an engine failure and put down in the park. While not an official airfield, Langley Park makes Perth a place where fixed-wing aircraft can land in proximity to the central business district. For many years, Langley Park's location made it a popular place to view the annual City of Perth Skyworks fireworks show on Australia Day, which were held over the river. After Skyworks' retirement in 2022, for 2023 Langley Park hosted a smaller fireworks display and drone show as a replacement for the event. The Telstra Rally Australia World Rally Championship held events at the park for 11 years from 1992 to 2002, and once more in 2005. During November 2006, 2007 and 2008, the final stage of the Red Bull Air Race World Series was held over the Swan River and Perth Water, using Langley Park as the airfield. Cirque du Soleil has used the park many times for its shows whenever a big top touring production visits Australia. Shows performed at Langley Park have included Saltimbanco, Alegria, Quidam, Dralion, and Ovo. On 30 September 2018, the park was the site of the West Coast Eagles homecoming celebrations after winning the 2018 AFL Grand Final.

Enormous park for city events on the foreshore on the Swan River. The park is mostly open grasslands. There are public toilets too, the only ones for what seems like a mile. Ticket Parking is in the streets behind, plus more paid parking for about $5 nearby on weekends, but a small fortune required on weekdays. Public transport drops off nearby and removes parking issues!. There doesn't seem to be any takeaway near the eastern end, so BYO foods. Disabled access can be an issue, for example the toilet block "access ramp" ends in a bump. Not great if you were in a wheelchair! I hope you are super-muscled for this 4WD ramp. The main streets are worse eg Bennet street not only is really steep, but the camber is so wild you would be running sideways into traffic. No good for the disabled or anyone with a trolley.

I went for an open-air Christmas concert organised by Lotterwest & West Australian Symphony Orchestra. The evening was excellent with classical & Christmas Carols played for 2 hours. The families with children had their picnic dinner before the Concert starts at 19:00. I too brought a picnic dinner for friends & family. Accessbility toilets & parking facilities available. St John's Ambulance staff was available for any emergency. Lotterywest had organised an excellent event. A free out- door concert with WASO, Choir & Soprano singer for singing the carols. I had an excellent picnic dinner with classic music playing & joyful atmospheres.

The park being on the river side makes it so relaxing, calm and beautiful. I visited this Park to attend a Diwali mela 2023 🪔. This was my first time being here and I never expected it to be so awesome. At times I even forgot I was in Australia. There was a huge list of things we could explore right starting from gaming stalls , culture stage, cloth, jewelry stalls and last but not the least a huge collection of food stalls. And at the end an eye sparkling fireworks display.🎇🎆 No words to explain the park nor the event. Totally mind blowing. There are parking lots spread on sidewalk of the park. Overall experience Superb 🥳🫶
