Hi friends, yeh did you know that the largest inner city park in the world is in Perth...
It is called Kings Park and is located within a short walk of the city and it is a major drawcard for both visitors to Perth and locals alike.This stunning location overlooks the city and the silken blue waters of the Swan River. From high above, you can see the brilliantly coloured sails of boats on the river, the twinkling lights of the city, the distant Perth Hills and the endless blue skies for which Perth is so renowned.
In 1872 it became the first park to be designated for public use in Australia and now it is the most popular visitor destination in Western Australia, being visited by over millions of people every year and I am one of them. The park is larger than New York's Central Park which is 3.41 km².
My fellow papua new guineans, it was a privilege and honour to see the country's name engraved in stones in memory of the famous Kokoda Track. This Memorial Walk is a tribute to the bravery of Australian troops who fought in the Papua New Guinea campaign of July 1942 - January 1943.
Friends click on the slide and we go visit the largest Inner city Park in the World.
Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, PA, USA has 9200 acres. Also, it was founded 200 years before Central Park NY. So there. Go Philly and go Eagles!
ReplyDeleteFairmont Park is a park system in Philadelphia that is made up of almost 100 separate parks.
ReplyDeleteKings Park in Perth is one massive single park in the middle of the city. I live in Perth and have seen some of the biggest parks in the world including New York and Munich. They are dwarfed in comparison to this park.
As thechapaus said, it's the largest in the world.
Well I hate to argue but Fairmount park is the largest single park in the world and there is nothing even close to it in size. True it is made up of a lot of parks but one on the many parks alone is 4400 acres in size which dwarfs all of Kings park (in total with bushland is only 1843.406 acres in size. Additionally it was one of the first planned urban parks in 182 by William Penn the founder of Philadelphia. Kings park is beautiful but and very large but unfortunately not the worlds largest inner city and 100% city owned park by any means.
