Gwelup Secret Garden

Beautiful garden, lush greenery. Perfect for taking photos. Very muddy, so make sure you're prepared.

An amazing place to bring your kids to explore and walk. In the winter months be sure to bring old shoes or your wellies as some areas are quite muddy. Your kids will have an absolute ball exploring the tracks and trails that weave though this great park.The vines that grow over the trees give this place a cool swampland look that is very different from most parks and walk ways in the city. Well worth a look and guaranteed to please your kids.

I'm glad I wasn't put off by the negative reviews. If Secret Garden has been degraded then it must of been heaven on earth before! I found it still beautiful though amazed that people had left their trash behind. Simple, bring a bag as we did, and collect rubbish, put in bin on way out, kids enjoyed it! There is parking for about 5 vehicles at the Secret Garden entrance and street parking further up towards the shade sail playground on Careniup ave. It was muddy when we went and it is not even winter so lucky we were wearing gumboots. I was glad I had left a plastic tub in the car to put our muddy boots in and a change of shoes. I'd bring a towel for your car seats if you have young ones or a change of clothes for the trip home. There is a part of the secret garden which is covered in vine and there is also a bamboo section which is equally impressive. There is planks to cross the water ways. We encouraged the kids to only play with the bamboo which was on the ground rather than snapping off growing shoots, pretty basic respectful type behaviour for future people to also enjoy this place. There is a small playground at one side and a shade sail playground on the other side. Karrinyup waters resort/caravan park back rear fence line adjoins the Secret Garden.

When one describes heaven on earth; I picture this garden. A place of the Jurassic era, of a serene land Utopian like civilisation where beauty remains intact. You can roam here for an hour and you can picnic in pure bliss. A photographers dream, or any Instagram model’s ideal location. Come on a perfect Spring or Summer day and expect to be transported to a bygone time. I will return with more of my romantic friends, and enjoy the atmosphere of this Shakespearean garden.

We have enjoyed coming here for a walk through the magic of the drape covered gardens. But it looks like either people or the council have destroyed the place, which very surprising given how long it’s been here.

One of my very very favourite places to eat and relax and take family and friendsSoo deliciously delightfulIn such a Beautiful setting

It's being revealed because it'd been trashed I guess... council eill remove all the weeds and protect the wetlandsStill a very beautiful place.. shame it's not a secret amymore though

The council have destroyed the magic of this place! It now just looks like any other swampSo sad as this place was amazing

Can see some potential professional shoots being done here. very nice backdrop.(changed a lot. I feel like they made it less attractive, or maybe it's just the season...)

2 stars to get your attention. Normally an awesome place, but don't come here right now. It's all dead and undergoing rehab. Visited July 10th 2022.
