Causeway to Garvey Park map

 

 

* If you prefer, you can turn left before the Goongoongup Bridge, and ride up a steady incline, which loops up and around to the cycle path along Goongoongup Bridge. Turn right at the end of the bridge and continue along the cycle path towards Burswood Island Resort. This is a good finish point.

** If you wish to take a different route from Garratt Road Bridge, continue along the shared path that follows Grandstand Road (runs parallel to Garratt Road Bridge), once you have crossed over Garratt Road Bridge. Turn right, at Harold Street, and the cycle path will lead you to a set of lights at Resolution Drive. The path ends for a few metres, and you may wish to walk your bike to where the path re-commences on the left. The shared path continues along Stoneham Street and runs parallel to Great Eastern Highway. You will pass the Sandringham Hotel on your left. Continue cycling along this path, and you will eventually cycle through the majestic gardens of Burswood Island Resort. This is a good start/finish spot.

Ride around the Rivers

Ride 12 - Causeway (Perth side) to Garvey Park

From the Causeway follow the shared path past Trinity College and along the river bank. From here you have an excellent view of the Burswood Island Resort on the opposite bank.

Continue along the path and turn right onto the wooden bridge that passes over the East Perth inlet.

Continue in the same direction and turn right at the first crossroad called Brown Street. At the end of Brown Street, cycle past the carpark towards the river, and turn left into the cycle path*.

Continue along this path, passing under the Goongoongup Bridge, until you reach Summers Street. Here the shared path ends so turn left into Summers Street and take the first right turn at Joel Terrace.

Follow Joel Terrace around to the right then turn right into Mitchell Street and left into Ellesmere Road, passing Mercy Hospital on your right.

Take the first right into Thirlmere Road and follow it around to the left up to Guildford Road. Turn right. By law it is required that you walk rather than ride your bicycle on the footpath alongside Guildford Road to Third Avenue East.

Turn right here and either (1) ride down to and descend a set of stairs/ramp to a carpark on Bardon Park, then along Bardon Place until you reach Fourth Avenue East; OR (2) proceed along Third Avenue past the stairs along Riverslea Avenue until you reach Fourth Avenue East.

Turn right here and proceed down a fairly steep descent past Bardon Park until you get to the East Street T-junction.

Continue straight ahead on to the shared path that runs through the Maylands Foreshore (Berringa Reserve) Rehabilitation Area.

At the end of the path turn right into Swan Bank Road then left into Clarkson Road. Follow the shared path around to the left onto Hardey Road and continue on to the path that runs to the left of historic Tranby House. This path will take you along the river bank past a block of units and turns left onto Swan View Terrace.

Turn right and follow Swan View Terrace to where it meets with Kelvin Street. To your right is a shared path that takes you all the way to Garratt Road Bridge, which is a good start/finish**.

Pass under Garratt Road Bridge, then cross over the bridge, turn left, and follow the path along the river past Ascot Water Playground. If you wish, stop here for a well earned rest and play. Then continue along the shared path over a boardwalk amongst the rushes to Garvey Park. Please note that toilets here are only open on weekends.
