Balga Track winds through Kings Park’s native bushland beneath banksias, jarrah, and grass trees, linking into Law Walk along the limestone escarpment above Mounts Bay. The name “balga” comes from the Noongar word for the native grass tree, one of the most distinctive plants found throughout the park’s bushland. Compared with the busier gardens and memorial areas, this section feels quieter and more natural, with regular glimpses through the trees towards the Swan River and Perth skyline.
