Edinburgh Gardens, Melbourne

Edinburgh Gardens spans 24 hectares with sports fields, playgrounds, and walking paths surrounded by established trees throughout the expansive green space.

Queen Victoria granted the land in 1862, with Clement Hodgkinson designing the layout that included cricket grounds and organized sporting facilities.

The gardens hold regular community events and feature art installations, while the historic rotunda serves as a central gathering point for local celebrations.

Visitors can access tennis courts, basketball courts, cricket pitches, barbecue areas, and playgrounds, with public toilets available throughout the grounds.

An empty pedestal meant for a statue of Queen Victoria stands in the park, as the original statue disappeared three years after installation.
