Yagan Square |
Yagan Square is a place to meet, connect and experience Western Australia's culture, heritage and landscape in the heart of Perth city.
The square offers a range of experiences - from green spaces and wildflower gardens, to a children's play space and engaging public art.
Sample some of the best Western Australian produce in the Market Hall or Horseshoe Lane, or head outdoors and enjoy cultural programs, digital art and light shows on the Digital Tower and canopies.
The square, which is named after prominent Noongar leader Yagan (c1795-1833), reflects Aboriginal culture and offers an insight into Whajduk history.
Located in the heart of Perth's CBD - within the arms of the Horseshoe Bridge - Yagan Square is one of the city's most popular community, meeting and celebration places.
More than just a transit area for the thousands of workers and residents connecting with public transport or walking between the CBD and Northbridge - Yagan Square is a place to have fun, meet, play, eat and shop from a showcase of WA.
