Lennox Gardens

Lennox Gardens spreads along the southern shore of Lake Burley Griffin with open green spaces and views toward Black Mountain and the Brindabella Ranges. The park combines wide lawns with structured garden areas and waterfront promenades that stretch across multiple sections.

Before Lake Burley Griffin was created, Lennox Crossing occupied this location, named after David Lennox and serving as a key crossing point over the Molonglo River. The construction of the lake fundamentally reshaped the landscape.

The Beijing Garden features a Chinese pavilion while the Nara Peace Park displays Japanese design elements, both reflecting partnerships with sister cities. Walking through these sections, visitors encounter different cultural expressions woven into the park's layout.

The park offers barbecue stations, picnic areas, public toilets, parking, and accessible pathways for visitors with mobility needs. Well-marked routes and shaded spots under trees make it easy to navigate and find comfortable rest areas.

The Canberra Rotary Peace Bell, installed in 2018, ranks among just 27 peace bells worldwide that ring together on the UN International Day of Peace. This connection creates a singular moment each year when the bell joins a global network.
