[6] While not an official airfield, Langley Park makes Perth a place where fixed-wing aircraft can land in proximity to the central business district.

[7] For many years, Langley Park's location made it a popular place to view the annual City of Perth Skyworks fireworks show on Australia Day, which were held over the river.

After Skyworks' retirement in 2022, for 2023 Langley Park hosted a smaller fireworks display and drone show as a replacement for the event.

[9][10] During November 2006, 2007 and 2008, the final stage of the Red Bull Air Race World Series was held over the Swan River and Perth Water, using Langley Park as the airfield.

Cirque du Soleil has used the park many times for its shows whenever a big top touring production visits Australia.
