Fawkner Park
Yarra Bend Park
Close to the city centre, Fawkner Park is a good option for lovely sunny spring days. Featuring two Art Deco brick pavilions and meandering paths lined with Moreton Bay figs, elms, poplars and oak, the park is a popular spot for a game or two of tennis.
Located in Kew, this is one of Melbourne’s largest natural bushland parks, and offers loads of opportunities to enjoy leafy grounds and abundant wildlife, whether you’re on foot or bicycle. Hire a canoe, kayak or rowboat from historic Studley Park Boathouse then explore the Yarra River. Otherwise simply enjoy a waterfront lunch in the restaurant or cafe.
