Public Transport: Your Eco-Friendly Chariot
Forget the Batmobile (although that would be pretty sweet), Perth offers a stellar public transport system that'll whisk you away to HBF Park without a hitch. Trains, buses, ferries – you name it, it'll get you there. Bonus: On event days, your precious ticket doubles as a magic golden pass, granting you free travel on Transperth services for three glorious hours before, during, and after the event. Now that's what we call a win-win!
Finding Your Route:
Feeling a tad technologically challenged? No worries, mate! Just download the Transperth app (available on both the App Store and Google Play), punch in "HBF Park" as your destination, and hey presto! The app will be your own personal Gandalf, guiding you to the quickest and easiest route.
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
Train Time:
If you're a train enthusiast (or just someone who appreciates air conditioning), you're in luck! Several lines service HBF Park, including the Fremantle, Joondalup, Midland, and Armadale lines. Just remember to check the Transperth website for the exact platform and timetable information – nobody likes a last-minute dash!
Bus Life:
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
More of a bus person? No sweat! Perth has a fantastic bus network, and several routes stop right near HBF Park. The most popular options include the Red and Yellow CAT buses, along with routes 650, 651, and 655. Just like the trains, be sure to check the Transperth website for up-to-date timetables.
Ferry Fun (sort of):
Alright, so there isn't exactly a ferry that drops you off right at HBF Park's doorstep (unless you have a secret aqua-mobile, in which case, color us impressed). But ferries can still be a fun way to get close-ish. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can catch a ferry across the Swan River to Elizabeth Quay and then hop on a connecting bus or train to complete your journey.
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.

Taking a Taxi (or Rideshare): When Public Transport Isn't Your Jam
Feeling fancy (or maybe a bit peckish for post-game pizza and don't want to deal with public transport timetables)? Taxis and rideshare services like Uber and Ola are always an option. Just be prepared for potential surge pricing, especially on event days. Pro tip: Download the apps beforehand and set up your payment method to avoid any pre-game fumbling.
Shank's Pony: For the Fitness Fanatics (or the Desperately Parking Challenged)
Are you one of those people who gets their kicks from a good walk (or maybe you just got caught short on parking options)? Well, fret not, fellow trekkers! HBF Park is actually within walking distance of the Perth CBD. It's a lovely stroll along the Swan River, taking in the sights and soaking up some Vitamin D. Just be sure to factor in the walking time to your travel plans, especially if you're running a bit late.
Important Note: While walking is a great option, it's always a good idea to check the weather forecast beforehand. Perth summers can get scorching, so pack a hat and some sunscreen if you're planning a leg-powered adventure.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
