The Supreme Court Gardens surround the Supreme Court, the highest court in the State of Western Australia. The Gardens are meticulously maintained by the gardeners. who spare no effort in keeping the gardens' flowers and lawn beautiful. Anyone can enter the Supreme Court Gardens, city workers can often be seen having an impromptu picnic at lunchtime. Entry is free.

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the State of Western Australia. These days, security is tight and it is not easy to enter the court room. The gardens, however, are free for anyone to enter, and city workers can often be seen eating their sandwiches there at lunchtime. The Gardens are beautifully maintained in classic style. They can be found at the corner of Barrack St and Adelaide Terrace. There is also a statue of renowned explorer Alexander Forrest at the corner.

Lovely park area in the city, this was the first time that we had visited since the 1980's and many changes were evident, improved access to and around the area. Well maintained with an expansive lawned area, seating, walk tracks, trees and other flora, monuments, etc. Reading a history of the gardens later, I found it difficult to imagine that they were much smaller in area when established in 1845 and that an area of the Swan foreshore had been reclaimed in 1903 giving us he expanse of gardens and other adjacent facilities that we take for granted.

The Supreme Court Gardens adjoins the Supreme Court of Western Austrrlia. The Supreme Court of WA is the highest court in the State. You can see the Supreme Court from outside, in these days of security consciousness, you may have to go through an inspection process if you wish to enter the court. The Supreme Court Gardens are quite beautiful, it's a favourite place for city workers to eat tehir sandwches and get some sun.

This is an amazing reserve which was created into a garden area over 100 years ago. It used to be part of the Swan River shallows but was reclaimed in early 1900s into a grass land with trees later planted upon in in the early 1920s.

This is situated in the CBD with the Supreme Court taking the centrestage for use. This is still a functioning court.

The grounds itself provide shade and grass banks for city workers to take time out from their day for lunch or just time out.

This is not so much a review as a comment to correct some misinformation I noted from looking at some of the reviews, particularly with respect to the location of the Supreme Court Gardens, and Stirling Gardens.

The Supreme Court building sits in the middle of the Supreme Court Gardens (to the South of the Court and riverside) and Stirling Gardens which is to the north of the Court. Stirling Gardens are in fact on the corner of Barrack Street and St George's Terrace (NOT Adelaide Terrace as some say and as appears in the above description. I don't know how that gets corrected).

Supreme Court Gardens are bounded by Barrack Street, Riverside Drive and Governors Avenue. Don't go looking for Adelaide Terrace as it is some distance down the road to the east of Barrack Street.

If you visit either garden it is just a short walk to the other. Cross Barrack Street and you are in the Elizabeth Quay precinct, and to the south of the gardens is Barrack Square where you will also find the Bell Tower.

There are a number of places to eat at Barrack Square and Elizabeth Quay.

On a fine day both gardens are worth visiting, and it is nice to just sit a while and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. I love the massive Moreton Bay Fig trees in both gardens. There is an enormous specimen near the Perth City Council building in Stirling Gardens and several other large trees down Barrack Street and behind the Court in the Supreme Court Gardens.

The Supreme Court Gardens are beautifully maintained. The Gardens are at the corner of Barrack Street and Adelaide Terrace, adjacent to the city's business district. . The Gardens house the Supreme Court of Western Australia (WA), which is the highest court in WA. The Gardens have been much-loved by many generations of the people of Perth. They are structured in a classic European style, framed by a grove of mature trees. . The Gardens also contain the oldest builing in the city of Perth, the Old Court House.

I recently visited the Supreme Court gardens, and it was truly a delightful experience! The gardens were absolutely beautiful; they were perfect for a picnic or just to sit and relax. The only downside is that the gardens are quite small, so you can't really take a leisurely stroll around them. That aside, I had a great time and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for an enjoyable day out!

Wonderful to see the recovery of some wonderful old trees. The grounds are still maintained beautifully. A refreshing haven away from concrete swathe of St Georges Tce. Didnt know Perths oldest European building was in the Gardens. the Old Court House, originally built on the banks of the Swan in 1836
