Leafy-green Belmont is nestled on the banks of the picturesque Swan River, only a few minutes from downtown Perth, and with the verdant Perth Hills only a short drive away. Belmont is a particularly family-friendly area, hosting the annual Kidz Fest, as well as being home to the adorable Belmonsters!
The Firehouse Bar & Restaurant is a great spot for a tasty meal, or head a bit further afield to the Crown Casino complex in Burswood for your choice of five-star culinary delights and some great entertainment. Next, if you’re interested in learning about the rich, diverse history of the Belmont area, a visit to the Belmont Museum is a must-do.
Belmont prides itself on its beautiful parks, and there is a park within three minutes walk from every home in the City of Belmont. Visitors to the area often enjoy a stroll around the grounds of Faulkner Park, and the younger visitors will definitely enjoy the Volcano Park playground and the Fantastic Flying Fox. Belmont Oasis Leisure Centre is also located within the park grounds, with great swimming facilities if you fancy a dip.
For nature lovers, a walk or bicycle ride along the shores of the Swan River is a scenic delight. As well as beautiful views of the Perth cityscape, you’ll spot plenty of flora and fauna on your way. You also shouldn’t miss the stunning beauty of the nearby Perth Hills.
Belmont is particularly well known for its past and present as one of WA’s horse-racing hubs, along with the nearby Ascot Racecourse. Belmont Park’s first horse race was held in 1910, and racing events such as the Belmont Classic still take place today.
