Spring into Parks encourages you to connect with nature for adventure, fun, wellness and learning. It is an ideal opportunity to discover the beauty and wonder of WA’s spectacular natural areas and enjoy the health benefits that come from spending time outside to improve mental health and physical fitness.
Key to connecting people to our parks is being able to provide accessible information on our parks, as well as promoting park attractions and activities. The WA Parks Foundation has created a special program of community-based activities you can view in the spring calendar.
Go wild and get involved with friends and family this springtime by choosing an activity or event that appeals and excites!
