I’ve walked on this walkway many times whilst walking around Kings Park, so many times that I’ve taken it for granted.
Until a few days ago when a friend was visiting from interstate and we visited Kings Park and took a walk around the botanic gardens, the walkway, and the Women’s Pioneer memorial.
This walkway provides alternative views over the Swan River, although you do need to walk nearly to the end of the botanic gardens to access it, as it’s not close to the carpark or entrance (and then you have to walk up the incline back up to the main area and carpark).
My friend enjoyed it, and I enjoyed the views from the elevated bridge and walkway. Fortunately there weren’t too many people on the walkway on the day we visited, so it wasn’t crowded at all. And normally isn’t on the days I visit. Worth a visit, but be prepared for a bit of a walk over the walkway and back up again.

This is a brilliant walkway where you get to see the tops of the trees in some parts, and get great views of the park and the scenery beyond the park. It also protects the earth and plants with people not trampling on it. Every time we cross it, we see something new we haven't seen before, the only problem is that we forget to bring our camera with us! Beautiful park, and great addition to the park

My favourite thing to do in Perth was to spend time in the beautiful Kings Park and the Federation Walkway was one of the highlights.
It winds its way through some beatiful plants, trees and flowers offering g lovely views of the river and city below.
It's crowning glory has to be the raised walkway over the canopy, I literally kept coming back to it every day.
Completely free, its open till 5.30 if memory serves me rightly.

This is an impressive pedestrian bridge with a wave inspired design adding a level of funkiness to the structure. The bridge is in harmony with its environment and is enjoyed by most people, particularly children. The views over South Perth and the old Swan Brewery are very good. Check it out!

We had an hour to kill in King's Park ahead of dinner, and enjoyed the time exploring the area near the main memorial, including a walk that took in this walkway. The views are very impressive, and the structure itself is very interesting. It's not flat, so some elderly folk may struggle with the inclines. But it's a fascinating place to visit, and well worth-while exploring.

Really loved this piece of engineering. Great curved design. Modern, stable, brought out the best of the natural area. It is a great place for locals to get out and see the local area during covid.

One of the features of Kings Park that we really enjoyed during our recent visit was the Lotterywest Federation Walkway, an arched bridge suspended amongst tall Eucalypts trees and blending into the canopy above.
The bridge is located in the Botanical Garden section of Kings Park and is around 620 metres in length. In addition to nice views of the area trees in sections of the bridge, there are fine views of the Swan and Canning Rivers in the distance.
Well worth making the effort to find and walk the Lotterywest Federation Walkway if planning a bit of time in Kings Park during visits to Perth.

You can walk here from main carpark or just drive up to nearby. Very accessible and so beautiful! The park has heaps of grassy area to have picnic at. The walkway is super stable so even if windy is safe. Opens till 5pm.

Enjoyed this walk through the trees in the botanical gardens. Great elevated walk through the tree canopy and across the two sided glass panelled bridge.

Noticed this walkway on the ferry ride back from Rottnest and knew I had to go. I walked around Kings Park from 5:30 am every morning during my stay so headed off the next morning only to find it didn't open until 9 am and closes at 5. This wasn't mentioned on the website so a little disappointed I'd wasted my morning walk getting there.
Went back later in the day and still enjoyed the walk and the views. Not quite the treetop experience I was expecting ( not very long ) but still some wonderful views and led to yet more beautiful areas of a park that simply doesn't let you down.

Where is the lottery walk starts? And how long this walk? Is it possible for me to catch a bus to BLue boat house after this walk ends?

recommend to follow the free tour thru the botanic gardens, which will lead you onto the walkway.
