A major redevelopment of the Gosnells city centre took place from 1999 to 2005, and part of that redevelopment involved upgrading Centennial Pioneer Park and constructing a 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 the upper entrance to the Treetop Walk as waypoints for my multi-cache GC17V4V WanAus 31 - Gosnells History Walk. The final location of the geocache is under the Riverside Boardwalk.

Centennial Pioneer Park is located beside the Canning River near the cultural and commercial centre of Gosnells. Entry to the park can be made via the Treetop Walk and Riverside Boardwalk, or from about six other entries.

There are free barbecues, picnic tables, an excellent Adventure Playground, and an outdoor stage overlooked by a tiered Amphitheatre which is used for various cmmunity events including monthly Music in the Park during the warmer months and an annual Australia Day Celebration.

More information on the area is available at City of Gosnells
