Lake Goollelal

Lake Goollelal Boardwalk, Kingsley

Lakeway Drive, Kingsley

Lake Goollelal sits within Yellagonga Regional Park on Whadjuk Noongar country. The regional park is named for Yellagonga who was a leader of the local Mooro people. The name Goollelal means ‘listen’. The accessible boardwalk winds out over the water and is fringed by paperbarks and flooded gums. It gives visitors an accessible way to wander into the wetland and discover the birdlife, bushland and quiet corners for unstructured play and exploration.

The boardwalk and viewing platforms – a 380-metre trail stretching out over the lake, letting kids get up close to the water without disturbing the fragile wetland below. 

Waterbirds and wetland wildlife – a haven for herons, ducks and other waterbirds, especially rewarding for young nature-spotters as bird identification signage helps spot different species. 

Fringing bushland and shaded trails – paperbark and flooded gum trees surround the lake’s edge, offering plenty of loose parts, shade and space for open-ended play.
