Guide to parks

Melbourne's parks offer a wonderful range of opportunities to make the most of your leisure time. With a network of nearly 480 hectares of internationally acclaimed parks and gardens, there is something to suit everyone's lifestyle.
Ranging from gardens with classic 19th century heritage features and majestic tree avenues, to the 170-hectare Royal Park with its unique bushland landscape and wetlands habitat, Melbourne offers a variety of open spaces and recreation opportunities.
Visit Cooks' Cottage at Fitzroy Gardens, hear the field of 39 electronic bells at Birrarung Marr, attend a concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl at Kings Domain or simply relax under a shady tree at any one of the City of Melbourne's parks.

Royal Park

Royal Park is the largest of Melbourne’s parks, covering 170 hectares. The large open spaces make it hard to believe you are still in the city but the excellent facilities make it a popular place for recreation and relaxation. Since its earliest days as designated parkland, Royal Park has had a strong tradition as home to various sporting activities which continue today.
