How to experience Lightscape like a pro

Getting there

Parking 

Parking in Kings Park during events is limited and securing a spot may leave you some distance from both the event and park lighting. Why not travel smart and make your journey stress free!

Park for $5 after 6pm at Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre and catch the free shuttle bus from the Elizabeth Quay Busport. This bus travels between Kings Park’s Wadjuk Carpark bus stop and Elizabeth Quay bus station every 15 minutes from 6pm – last bus departs Kings Park at 9:30pm.

Parking in Kings Park is extremely limited and it is strongly recommended that you consider alternate transport options. If you choose to drive and park, allow plenty of time to get to your time slot as available parking within the park may be some distance from the event and require walking in the dark.

There is nearby, free parking available in West Perth after 6pm, with mostly lit roads and paths. 

Limited parking will be available in Wadjuk Carpark, Jorang and Poolgarla carparks. ACROD parking is available in these carparks with a valid ACROD parking permit.
