Kent Street Weir

Canning River Regional Park

6 Kent St, Wilson

Canning River Regional Park – home to Kent Street Weir – is a calm, nature-rich spot where families can stroll beside the Djarlgarro Beeliar (Canning River), picnic under tall trees, paddle in the river and spot birdlife along the wetlands. With gentle walking loops, peaceful water views, open grassy spaces and plenty of places to explore, it’s a beautiful setting for slow adventure and relaxed time outdoors together. Wadjup is the Noongar name for the broader Canning Flats area.
