Forrestfield
Forrestfield is in the City of Kalamunda, 15 kilometres to the south-east of Perth at the base of the Darling Scarp, connected to Tonkin Highway and Roe Highway. It’s a nice suburb if you like a semi-rural lifestyle being close to the hills with plenty of trees.
Local folklore suggests the name Forrestfield comes from Charles Hale who settled there in 1902 and planted a crop amongst the trees. A neighbour referred to him wanting a forest and a field at the same time and the name was later applied to the area.
The large Hartfield Park Recreation Centre includes an indoor stadium for various sports, an 18-hole golf course, equestrian centre, nature park and lake. There is a large main shopping centre as well as several primary and secondary schools nearby.
