Kings Park Road is situated in West Perth, a suburb of Perth, the capital of Western Australia. It was once known as Brooking Street, and runs as a boundary between the suburbs of West Perth and Kings Park, from the west end of Malcolm Street to the corner of Bagot Road, Subiaco, and Thomas Street, West Perth.
Bitumenised in the 1930s, a 7.6-metre (25 ft) setback rule was suggested in 1939 by the Perth City Council. The junction with Thomas Street and Bagot Road has been modified several times; the junction at the eastern end was regularly called the King's Park Circus. The central median strip had been lined with trees, but they were removed and replaced with rose bushes sometime after May 1949.
