Communities in Perth’s inner south-east suburbs will soon be able to enjoy 14 new public spaces collectively known as ‘Long Park’, as part of the METRONET Victoria Park–Canning Level Crossing Removal Project.

Long Park will be a vibrant public space under the new elevated inner Armadale Line, with six hectares of recreational spaces and parkland for the community to enjoy.

Stretching from the new Carlisle Station to Beckenham Station, Long Park was shaped with feedback from the community and will include spaces with amenities such as playgrounds, sports courts, and skateparks.

Long Park will also feature a 7-kilometre public art trail showcasing artwork by 20 artists. This trail will connect the five new stations along the Armadale Line and explore the themes of 'Healing and Revealing', with the aim of fostering learning, storytelling and shared experiences while reflecting the unique elements of each area along the line.
