  Green and peaceful place to go for a stroll or to sit and eat lunch. Lots of bench seats to sit on too. Great that it's close to a lot of office buildings too. I'm told it's the site of Melbourne';s first cemetery so it has some history too.

  Went there in an evening for picnic - saw lotsssss of possums.
  I think they are cute but my friend said they look like rat to her LOL
  People will feed them plain bread and even apple.
  Heard that there are many other different wild animals in this park but I couldn't see any others...
  Anyway it is a very...

  Flagstaff Gardens with Flagstaff Hill is the oldest public park in Melbourne, established in 1862 and classified by The National Trust of Australia. Adjacent to Melbourne CBD, this 7.2 hectare park is noted for its informal layout of lawns and flower beds and especially for its magnificent old specimen trees. It is a popular spot for office workers to take...

  I have been here many times over the years, whether it is for a social event at the Bowling Club (I think the bar is open to visitors) or for a work picnic. My recent visit saw me there in the evening. I think children would love running on the lawns at dusk as the grass is so soft and...

  Flagstaff Gardens are so called because a flagstaff was located here, and a flag was run up when a ship was sighted coming into the bay. It's still an elevated point, but now it's a leafy garden. A variety of sports are also played here. Often workers in nearby offices bring a ball for a game of kick to kick....

  One of the wonderful parks within the inner city area of Melbourne. We were here at dusk, still a fair few people about.

  A quiet place to spend your day and a very lovely park to visit with your love ones.
  On the corner, there is a free tram stop. So your adventure can start from here. Enjoy ^_^

  it is a very convenient location which provides some calmness among the hustle and bustle of the big city. Just got to remember to look in opposite direction when crossing the streets because the Aussies drive on the other side of the road.

  unlike other garden and parks in Melbourne CBD, this one is the most quiet and peaceful one, but it doesn't mean its not beautiful, it has a lot of nice tall trees, in Autumn they all turn beautifully yellow, more than any other gardens and parks in Melbourne, and because its quieter , the BBQ stand is easier to book,...

  A dose of green amid the edifices of concrete and steel, this used to be an important place in the early European settlement of Melbourne.
  Doubtless, the local indigenous people would also have held it significant.
  To think that there was once a view of the Yarra from here is remarkable!
