Directions

A contemporary riverside park sitting between Federation Square and the Yarra River, offering sweeping city skyline views and thoughtful Indigenous cultural acknowledgement throughout. The Federation Bells installation plays automated compositions at set times daily and is a genuine Melbourne quirk worth timing your visit around. It's exposed and windswept in winter, and major events on the adjacent Yarra precinct can make it hectic.
