Fitzroy Gardens

Fitzroy Gardens is a 26-hectare urban park located on the southeastern edge of Melbourne's central business district. The gardens feature an ornamental lake, a scarred tree, a visitor information centre and cafe, a conservatory, Cooks' Cottage, tree-lined avenues, a model Tudor village, a band pavilion, a rotunda, the 'Fairies' Tree', fountains, and sculptures. The gardens are one of the major Victorian-era landscaped gardens in Australia and add to Melbourne's claim to being the 'garden city' of Australia. The park has a playground with a creature-filled theme, where kids can slide down a dragon's tail, swing on a giraffe's ears, and see a dragon glowing in the dark. The gardens also have walking paths, seating, and drinking fountains, making it a great place for families to visit and explore
