Parks & Reserves

The City has four categories of parks - Regional, District, Neighbourhood and Local - dependent on their location and size. The type of infrastructure within each Park is determined by these categories. Infrastructure includes toilets, BBQ's, playgrounds, seating, picnic tables, paths, shelter, water fountains, bike racks, informal BMX tracks and basketball courts.

The City of Albany manages many attractive reserves, parks, buildings and other facilities that are available for hire.

If you are planning a meeting, wedding, school excursion, function, or simply an informal get-together at one of the following venues, please ensure that you make a formal booking to fully know what is permitted at each venue. No confetti or balloons are to be released. By booking a venue, the City can ensure that the location is not double-booked and that routine maintenance of park grounds is not in progress.

Metal Detecting: No digging is to be undertaken within any City Managed Parks and Reserves except on beaches.

 

Anzac Peace Park

The ANZAC Peace Park site is an area of reclaimed land appropriated for the purpose of designing a landscape of peace.
The site is also important for its central location at the end of Albany's main commercial spine. York Street, forming a direct link between City and harbour. It is an iconic location connecting City and harbour, endowed with multiple symbolic associations.

Natural environment

Some parks have naturally occurring vegetation that supports flora and fauna habitat. In particular, vegetation in drainage areas is important as they help take up nutrients and improve water quality.
