Victoria Park: Street Art, Cottages and Gardens

Street art, early cottages and parklands reveal different sides of Victoria Park. The area also has a bridge connection for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as nearby sports facilities.

Street Art Across the Town

More than 45 colourful murals and contemporary street art works by international and local artists are spread throughout the town. The Urban Gallery is therefore something you can encounter in several locations around the area. The Urban Gallery Victoria Park walking map offers a practical guide for getting around. Copies are available from local businesses in Victoria Park or from Vic Park Minilab. As availability may change, it is best to check before relying on a map.

Cottages and Built Heritage

Victoria Park has numerous distinctive cottages from the early 20th century, many of which have been restored. The area also features tree-lined streetscapes and several state-registered heritage buildings. The cottages and registered buildings offer different ways to explore the architecture: they showcase both the historic building stock and the breadth of the area’s built heritage. The tree-lined streetscapes add another defining element to the townscape.

Windmill and Wishing Well

Windmill and Wishing Well is a model windmill with a wishing well in a parkland setting and a picturesque landmark. It is located at the corner of Albany Highway, Shepperton Road and Asquith Street, at the entrance to Victoria Park and the Causeway. The model windmill and wishing well make this a clearly defined counterpart to the murals spread throughout the town: here, the focus is on a single landmark in a specific location.

Gardens and Remembrance

Memorial Gardens is a park with gardens and plenty of shade. A memorial there commemorates the men and women who served and fought for the country. This park brings gardens and remembrance together. If you are interested in the historical significance of a place, the memorial offers a specific point of reference; the gardens and shade also shape the grounds themselves.

Bridge Connection and Sports Facilities

Completed in late 2024, Boorloo Bridge connects Perth CBD with Victoria Park for pedestrians and cyclists. Part of the bridge is located in McCallum Park. The connection adds a practical dimension to the art and architecture themes for people considering travelling between the CBD and Victoria Park on foot or by bike.

McCallum Park is close to the destination. It has competition-standard skate and scooter facilities, including a large rideable plaza. The park also has refurbished basketball courts featuring large-scale artworks. The facilities appeal to different interests: the plaza and skate and scooter offerings form one focus, while the basketball courts offer another. This makes the nearby park a destination in its own right for physical activity, alongside Victoria Park’s art, architecture and garden themes.
