Hammond Park is a relatively new suburb, previously part of Banjup. It is approximately 27 kilometres from the Perth CBD and is located within the City of Cockburn. Being a developing suburb, there is tremendous growth in terms of developments and facilities, making it an ideal suburb for young families as well as investors. Hammond Park boasts a vibrant community, convenient location, extensive services, and plenty of recreational activities to please the entire family.
It’s location near the Cockburn Train Station makes catching a bus or train into the city hassle-free. By car, you’ll reach the city in around 25 minutes thanks to a convenient drive straight down the Kwinana Freeway. If you’re keen to head into the City of Fremantle to visit one of the many tourist landmarks, this will also be a 25-minute drive.
The highlight of this suburb is the vast nature reserves available for you to explore. Thompson’s Lake Nature Reserve and Harry Waring Marsupial Reserve are both fenced to keep out feral felines and protect the beautiful wild animals you might discover inside. The reserves are home to local marsupials like sugar possums, echidnas and kangaroos, as well as thousands of international bird species, that flock to the lake each year. There are several walking paths and car parks to make this slice of Australian wildlife accessible for everyone.
Looking for family fun? Besides the reserves, Botany Park has been ranked one of the top parks in the City of Cockburn for its shaded playground and proximity to nearby shops and cafes. The Park Hive has all your shopping, pharmacy and caffeine needs, with the convenience of the larger Cockburn Gateway Shopping City less than a ten-minute drive away.
