Whiteman Park is located in Western Australia, just a short 25 minute drive from the city centre of Perth.
Situated in picturesque bushland the Park covers an area of more than 4200 hectares (over 10,000 acres) with nearly half this classified as high value conservation bushland or wetland.
No matter how you travel getting to the Park is easy and there are numerous parking areas throughout the Park. Please view our Park Map for locations.
The Park takes its name from Mr Lew Whiteman (1903-1994), a prominent local identity and enthusiastic collector of artifacts. His family settled in Guildford from England in the late 19th century and Lew acquired some land around Mussel Pool in the 1940s. This, and other land held by a variety of private owners, was purchased by the State Government in 1978 and combined to form Whiteman Park. The land was acquired to protect a major underground drinking water source supplying the Perth metropolitan area.
