Known forhidden gemhistoriclow-keyCBD escape
Melbourne's oldest public park, a quiet green refuge on the western edge of the CBD that most tourists walk straight past. Shaded by enormous Moreton Bay figs and Canary Island palms, it's a genuine lunchtime escape for CBD workers and a peaceful spot to read or decompress. The park is well-maintained but lacks major attractions, which is precisely its appeal.
