Batman Park, Urban park in Melbourne, Australia

Batman Park is a small urban park on the northern bank of the Yarra River in central Melbourne, bounded by Spencer Street to the west, the Flinders Street Viaduct to the north and King Street to the east. It is an open grassed space with sealed paths and planted eucalyptus trees, and a low stone retaining wall runs along the riverbank.

The site was part of Wurundjeri territory and riverside wetlands before European settlement, then became a dumping ground and later a freight rail yard serving the port. Batman Park was established in 1982 on the disused yard and named after Melbourne founder John Batman. In 1997 the section east of King Street was renamed Enterprize Park after the schooner that landed here in 1835, and its filled-in 1850s turning basin was reinstated.

The park is named after John Batman, one of Melbourne's founders, and recalls the 1835 landing of the schooner Rebecca and the nearby settlement at Batman's Hill. The section east of King Street became Enterprize Park in 1997, named after that schooner. A 2006 pigeon loft in the north-east corner, fitted with dummy eggs, failed to attract pigeons and was removed in 2015.

The park is easy to reach on foot from central Melbourne and is close to major tram, bus, and train connections. It is open every day with no entry fee, and the riverside paths work well for a short walk or a longer stop outdoors.

In the 1980s, the park was home to a large bright yellow sculpture called the Yellow Peril, made by artist Ron Robertson-Swann, which became the subject of a heated local debate. The work was moved to the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in 2002, but the story of its time here is still remembered by many Melburnians.
