Eyre Park

Edward John Eyre was one of Australia's great explorers and was the first white man to cross the southern part of the continent from east to west, a journey he completed in Albany in 1841. He was accompanied by his Aboriginal guide, Wylie, whose name is commemorated by a street that overlooks this park.

Eyre Park is arguably the most popular of Albany's parks and is often used as an outdoor venue. The park has a beautiful lake with many species of waterbirds, large established trees and an expansive grassed area.

As well as two gas barbecues and a covered pavilion with tables and benches, Eyre Park has a well-equipped junior playground with all the latest facilities and a paved half-court basketball area.

The perfect spot for a family picnic, close to Middleton Beach and sheltered from coastal winds, Eyre Park is in an idyllic location.
