I have been an avid bushwalker for many years, and Whitman Park is one of my favourite places to visit. For over 20 years I have been exploring this hidden gem and recently I went on the Goo Lorto Trail during my weekly Thursday stroll. As I meandered my way along, admiring the Bennett Brook, kangaroos and bird life, I came across a stunning new lipstick red shelter. Its vibrance caught my eye instantly in the distant, and with its comfortable picnic table inside it was like an oasis in the desert. Just perfect for a rest and my morning tea while I watched the birds dart between the trees and the kangaroos hop by. This new shelter is such a great idea as a nice quiet spot for lunch with family or friends, and the Goo Lorto Walk is lovely hike to do, especially now with this hidden treasure as a rest point along it. Whiteman Park is an underrated masterpiece of Perth, and this brilliant new shelter is no exception to that. I am so impressed with their staff’s ability to continue to innovate and bring in new ideas to make an exceptional place even more exceptional. This shelter is a great idea and with the new train lines I highly recommend that people put then Goo Lorto trail on their list to visit and make sure you stop by this lovely shelter for a rest and a bite to eat.

Stopped by after going through the Swan Valley shops and went for a little walk around the township. There was plenty of picnic tables in the area which were numbered, presumably so you can pre-book an area for a gathering. Nice large open spaces with plenty of trees for shade and buggies for hire to pedal around the area. There was also a train that goes to various regions of the park. The Information Center was handy in getting an idea of what to see and do in the area like a twilight bushwalk. The Caversham Wildlife Park nearby but wasn't able to go. Edit: I was planning on spending a day here but it was rainy so we ended up going to the Bennet Brook Railway and the Revolutions Museum. I did have a short stroll from the museum to the main town area and the park is quite nice. There is a large playground as well as a water park. There is also a few shops along the main road which was interesting like the candy shop and the photograph store. They also do have other activities like a go kart but it was closed due to the weather. The information center was also quite nice to walk around to have a look at the displays. They do have walks in the ware but it wasn't a good day for that so possibly for next time.

Looking to keep kids occupied and experience the village heritage???then this is the best place. This is a very huge park. One full day is not enough to cover the entire park. If you hear a whistle or horn sound do not forget to check it out. It's a tram which runs inside the park. I was really thrilled to have a tram ride. Note: Tickets must be taken inside the tram. But cash only. The staff have done a great job to maintain the ticketing facility in old style. When you give cash the conductor gives tickets in an awesome old style. Adult:$6, Senior:$5,Child:$3, Family:$15(2 adults,2children) There is a mini water pool available. It's not so deep.safe for kids. For further information we can contact the visitor information center. There is a cafe inside the park. It's situated opposite the main tram station and visitor information center. The whiteman village is really an awesome place to visit. Lots of shops have been maintained and given demonstrations of how they all worked in olden days. Tractor ,motor museum ,Lolly stop, pavilion, Print shop and more. Parking will never be a problem here because there are huge areas of parking lots in different areas of this park.

For those who love to enjoy a day with the kids, this can be a great destination as one can enjoy both a park and a sanctuary within the same territory. First of all, I was immensely impressed with the different live shows of animals on offer here at Caversham wildlife Park, a private concern. Unlike normal zoos, here one can touch some of the rare Australian animals and also take photos standing beside them. Wallabies, Wombat, Kangaroo, koala are some of these animals which can be seen and touched from very close quarter under the supervision of the local staff. Different local birds and snakes were also fascinating to say the least. If one likes to take the kids for some joy ride, one can find the adjacent park to good effect. There is a beautiful pool for the kids as well. Playing arena for tennis, basketball is also available there. A tram tour around the spot is also available here. One can also quench one's hunger with some delicacies here at a beautiful cafe. In a nut shell, I am very impressed with this place.

I had the opportunity to visit Whiteman Park recently and was left with mixed emotions about my experience. While I was highly impressed by the well-maintained water park, some of the other attractions at the park left much to be desired. The water park was well-designed, and I appreciated the cleanliness and attention to detail that went into the area. However, I was disappointed by some of the other events, such as the tram ride, which did not live up to my expectations. The tram ride, in particular, was quite underwhelming and I wouldn't recommend it to others. The ride itself was not very long and lacked the excitement and thrill that I had been hoping for. The views were okay, but not remarkable, and I felt that I had wasted my money on this part of the park. Overall, I would still recommend Whiteman Park to others, but with a word of caution. I would encourage people to do their research before deciding which events to participate in and make the most of their time at Whiteman Park.

Great place to bring the whole family. Heaps of picnic tables and barbecues spread out in the park. Nice walks to be done between Mussel pool and the main village. You'll be able to spot kangaroos on the way. Definitely of interest if you and your loved ones are fans of transportation, the old steam train was a hit for the children aswell as the train museum, which is donation by entry. The other small museums there were lovely aswell, we skipped the car one but went to the tractor. Great playgrounds for the children. Definitely recommended bringing a picnic as the food can get expensive! We went for 5 hours and still want to go back for the children's nature walk and the wildlife park. Highly recommend for a nice family outing :)

Whiteman Park is a 4,000-hectare bushland area located 22 km north of Perth, Western Australia. The park is in the suburb of Whiteman, in the Swan Valley in the upper reaches of the Swan River.
