Birrarung Marr, Urban park near Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia.
The parkland spans 8 hectares across three distinct terraces, offering walking paths, picnic areas, and open recreational spaces along the riverbank.
Established in 2002, the site transformed from a marshy colonial area and former Jolimont railyards into a modern public green space.
The name Birrarung Marr comes from Woiwurrung language, with Birrarung meaning river of mists, reflecting the Indigenous Wurundjeri connection.
The William Barak Bridge connects pedestrians directly from the park to the Melbourne Cricket Ground and other sporting facilities.
Federation Bells, comprising 39 upturned bronze bells, ring three times daily with different musical compositions throughout the park.
