The Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority (BGPA) is a statutory authority of the Western Australian Government, responsible for managing Kings Park and Bold Park. Established in 1998, BGPA aims to create world-recognized gardens and parks that promote the conservation of biological diversity and celebrate local identity. The authority operates under the guidance of a Board of Management appointed by the Minister for Environment.

BGPA offers a range of services through six main areas: visitor and community engagement, horticulture and living collections, conservation and science, park management and maintenance, cultural heritage, and business and corporate services. Kings Park and Botanic Garden is one of the largest inner-city parks globally, showcasing Western Australian flora and rich cultural history. Bold Park provides urban bushland and recreational opportunities. BGPA also maintains a herbarium specializing in Western Australian plants, supporting research and conservation efforts. The authority engages with a diverse audience, including local and international visitors, educational institutions, and conservation organizations.
