Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

For Wellard, you can plan your outing around several distinct highlights: play facilities at Bullrush Park, park features at Wellard Park and Linear Park, exercise on the Kwinana Loop Trail, and workshops and events at the John Wellard Community Centre. This lets you plan your stay around your interests—whether you’re looking for play areas, a shared-use trail or an event date.

Parks with different features

Bullrush Park, also known as Bullrush Park XL, is on Irasburg Parade. Facilities include an 8-metre-high rope climbing tower, winding slides, sand and water play stations, and swings. Shaded picnic and barbecue areas complement the play facilities. The different stations give the park a clear focus on climbing, sliding and playing; picnic and barbecue areas offer another aspect to consider when planning your visit. Bullrush Park is open 24 hours a day.

A City of Kwinana park guide published in 2020 lists two playgrounds at Wellard Park, including one suitable for people with disabilities. For Linear Park, the guide lists two electric barbecue facilities and a pond fed by a stream that runs through the park. These features set the locations apart: playgrounds are the main feature of Wellard Park, while Linear Park is known for its barbecue facilities and water. Park facilities may change, so check the current information before your visit.

The Kwinana Loop Trail and its upgrade

The Kwinana Loop Trail is a 21-kilometre shared-use trail for walkers, runners and mountain bikers. Its length and intended users help put the offering into perspective: the trail accommodates several types of activity, setting it apart from the individual park features. The first phase of the upgrade focuses on safer connections and easier wayfinding along Runnymede Gate and Wellard Road in Wellard, as well as Gentle Road. As the project status may change over time, check the latest information when making specific plans.

Events and historical context

The John Wellard Community Centre hosts workshops and events throughout the year. If a particular date matters for your stay, check the specific event dates in advance: year-round programming does not indicate which event will take place on your travel dates.

A route in Kwinana connects the historic Wellard Townsite site on Wellard Road with the agricultural areas of Mandogalup Swamp. This historical context adds a link between a historic site and agricultural areas to the choice of parks and trails.
