Lloyd Hughes Park

Lloyd Hughes Park (the Park) is a 17.7 hectare A-class reserve managed by the City of Armadale in the Darling Scarp foothills, Kelmscott. 

The Park is situated on the interface that exists between the Ridge Hill Shelf and the Darling Scarp. A seasonal creek runs through the park to join the Canning River.

The Park is characterised by Marri and Jarrah woodland, in addition to Flooded Gum woodland along the creek line.

Areas within the Park were were once used to mine gold and slate. 

The Park has significant conservation value due the transitional nature of the vegetation as the area traverses the Swan Coastal Plain and Darling Scarp. The bushland has a diverse ecosystem that provides habitat for native fauna and wildflowers while also providing residents with a vital recreational area.

The Friends of Lloyd Hughes Park are a community-based group that assist the City with on-ground management. This passionate group of volunteers works on revegetation, weed control and dieback management within the park

Lloyd Hughes Bushland Management Plan informs the City's management of the Park. The use of strategically placed dieback clearing stations is encouraged throughout the Park.
