The market will feature up to 60 stalls near Grand Boulevard and run every Saturday from 8am to noon.

The City of Joondalup had initially proposed the market for Central Walk and called for expressions of interest.

There were two submissions but one was withdrawn, leaving Farmers Markets (WA), which operated markets at Eden Beach in Jindalee and Leederville.

In its submission, Farmers Markets (WA) proposed the alternative location of the southern end of Central Park, suggesting Central Walk was not suitable because of the residential environment, access issues and lack of space.

It was determined Central Park would offer a large lawn area with the necessary space  for stalls and activities, entertainment and family activities, seating, shade and toilet facilities.
