Private events

The current purpose of Burswood Park Board is to:

  • bring families together for active and/or passive recreation
  • promote the peninsula to local and international tourists
  • support groups, their events and their cause.

We encourage and welcome groups of all sizes to use the park accordingly, subject to the relevant terms and conditions.
