Fitzroy Gardens, Urban park in East Melbourne, Australia
The 26-hectare garden contains ornamental lakes, tree-lined avenues, fountains, sculptures, and numerous pathways through dense plantings of native and exotic trees.
Established in 1848, the gardens were designed by Clement Hodgkinson and planted by James Sinclair as a Victorian-era park with meandering pathways.
The preserved scarred tree within the gardens represents Aboriginal heritage, showing where indigenous people removed bark for traditional purposes.
The gardens include a visitor information center, cafe, conservatory, and multiple entrances accessible from Wellington Parade and Lansdowne Street.
The Model Tudor Village, constructed in the 1940s, displays miniature English Tudor buildings with intricate architectural details throughout the gardens.
