Centennial Pioneer Park is located beside the Canning River near the cultural and commercial centre of Gosnells. As well as the Treetop Walk and Riverside Boardwalk, there are free barbecues, picnic tables, an excellent Adventure Playground, and an outdoor stage overlooked by a tiered Amphitheatre.
A major redevelopment of the Gosnells city centre took place from 1999 to 2005, and part of that redevelopment involved upgrading Pioneer Park and constructing the Treetop Walk and Riverside Boardwalk, as well as a Wetland Boardwalk which meanders past a natural spring and through a natural wetland beside the Canning River.
At the same time the existing Town Hall and Public Library were demolished and replaced by the Five Star Green Rated The Agonis @ Gosnells Civic Centre, which includes a state-of-the-art Knowledge Centre.
The redevelopment also saw the placement of a number of Public Art Works, and in December 2007 I used that artwork and a plaque near this 'You Are Here' Map as waypoints for my multi-cache GC17V4V WanAus 31 - Gosnells History Walk.
The Wetland Boardwalk is also a major feature of my multi-cache GC1PBXH WanAus 70 - Canning River Walk which I placed in March 2009.
