Kings Park is about 1000acres or about 400ha in size. There are plenty of walkways and scenic areas in the park. There are different species of flora all year round, but if you are in a planning stage of visiting Kings Park at it's peak time, visit between August and October during the wildflower display. Kings park would be the best place to see nearly all of the West Australian flowers. We visited Kings park 2 years ago and you can spend all day there. There is / was a free bus from Perth to the gardens during the wild flower season. I don't know if this bus is free all year round. The park has a restaurant, gift and souvenir shop. For a picnic in the park the best place would be near the War Memorial overlooking Perth or near the lake with a great fountain display.

I believe it's (at least one of) the biggest inner city park(s) in the world.

If you are from Peiting perhaps this comparison helps:

It is slightly larger than the English Garden in Munich, so really huge.
