Yarra Park, Urban park in East Melbourne, Australia
Yarra Park spans 35 hectares of green space with tree-lined paths connecting Punt Road and Swan Street through the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Precinct.
The Victorian Governor Charles La Trobe established this parkland in 1856, initially designating 81 hectares from Punt Road to Swanston Street for public use.
The park contains ancient eucalyptus trees bearing markings from the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, who harvested bark for canoe construction.
Three footbridges enable pedestrians and cyclists to cross railway lines, connecting different sporting venues and providing access to the Yarra River Trail.
Statues of Australian sports figures surround the Melbourne Cricket Ground, including footballers Ron Barassi and Dick Reynolds, and cricket player Donald Bradman.
