Picturesque Stirk Park, situated on the corner of Kalamunda and Canning roads in Kalamunda, is probably the most popular public reserve in the hills area. Coin-operated electric barbecue, children's playground facilities, car parking area ensures that the park offers passive recreation to cater for people of all age groups.
It is now a popular venue for wedding receptions and family outings, and is an ideal place for a picnic or a relaxing Sunday afternoon. Among the many attractions to be found when visiting Stirk Park is the historic Stirk Cottage built from mud-brick in 1881, and the home of the first settler of the area. The cottage has been restored to its original state and supplemented with furniture and other items of the period, and stands as an authentic relic of the 19th century.
Probably the most popular attraction of Stirk Park is the large outdoor chess centre, which has been the subject of favourable comment from far and wide. This unique chess centre uses chess pieces ranging from 534mm to 915mm in height, on a board which is marked out on the brick pavement.
