About the Perth – Armadale Principal Shared Path
The Perth – Armadale Principal Shared Path (PSP) is a partially complete urban dual use pathway that runs parallel to the Armadale Railway Line through Perth’s south-eastern suburbs. At around 38km long, the entire route can be ridden 1.5 hours or walked in approximately six hours. Approximately 31km (or 80%) of the route consists of a high-quality asphalt shared path, with the remaining 20% comprising of low traffic residential streets.
Starting at the Yagan Square digital tower, the path heads east along the Roe Street cycleway before transitioning into a shared path at the historic Barrack Street Bridge. Heading east, the path takes you past the McIver and Claisebrook train stations before crossing the Graham Farmer Freeway via an impressive footbridge. On the other side the freeway, the paths runs alongside the edge of the East Perth Power Station. Opened in 1916 and closed in 1981, the heritage listed building is earmarked for redevelopment as an ‘eastern gateway’ to the Perth CBD. Crossing the Swan River via the Windan Bridge, the path leads to the Burwood Peninsula, home to Perth Stadium, Belmont Park Racecourse and the Crown Perth Entertainment Complex. At Riversdale Road, the path crosses the freeway again before linking up with another section of path on Goodwood Parade. Here, the path continues past Burswood Station before crossing over Great Eastern Highway via another footbridge.
Heading south from Great Eastern Highway, the route follows a quiet local road called Rutland Avenue to Victoria Park Station. Victoria Park is a trendy inner suburb home to many restaurants and cafes. From Victoria Park Station, the road riding continues along Rutland Avenue before the PSP recommences at the Miller Street Bridge.
The path crosses Archer Street before passing Carlisle and Oats Street train stations. Another road crossing occurs at Oats Street, with the PSP continuing along Rutland Avenue. On the other side of Welshpool Road, the path continues past Welshpool Station, which will be closed in coming years as part of broader upgrades to the Armadale Line. The PSP continues over another street crossing at Hamilton Street to reach Queens Park Station before crossing Wharf Street. Beyond Wharf Street, the path continues past Cannington Station before reaching Beckenham Station, which straddles either side of William Street.
