Hyde Park (formerly Third Swamp Reserve) is an inner-city park in Perth, the state capital of Western Australia. It is located in the north-east corner of the suburb of Perth – 2 km (1.2 mi) north of the central business district – surrounded by Vincent, William, Glendower and Throssell Streets.[1]

Facilities include: public toilets, playground equipment, barbecues, drinking fountains, pavilion, stage area, fitness equipment[2] and a sealed walking path of around 800 m (870 yd) in length ringing the lake. Electricity is available, which is used, for example, to power temporary fairground rides.[citation needed]
