Princess Wallington Reserve

Princess Wallington Reserve is a dog walk in Balga, WA, where you'll see open green spaces, playgrounds, sporting facilities, and natural bushland areas, including Bina Parkland with its skate plaza, BMX track, and regional playground.

The walk

Underfoot it is paved paths and natural bushland trails.

Lead rules

City of Stirling manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Balga for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Balga suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Rickman Delawney Reserve is the other local walk worth comparing.
