Water for wellbeing in parks, gardens and natural areas
Water is critical for keeping our parks, gardens and natural areas healthy so Boorloo (Perth) is a great place to live. Water helps keep these areas flourishing. It maintains the trees and other vegetation, keeping the city cool during hot summers and providing homes for wildlife.

Water for wellbeing in our parks, gardens and natural areas:
  • Parks, gardens, bushland, wetlands and waterways are great places to exercise, play, socialise, learn and relax. They keep us healthy and connected with family, friends and nature.
  • These spaces are also important for cooling the city and our suburbs during hot summers and providing homes for wildlife.
  • Parks and gardens need smart approaches to watering to help them flourish, while still being waterwise.
