City Hill, Urban park in Civic, Australian Capital Territory.
City Hill contains double rows of Roman cypresses and twelve oval groups of trees surrounding a central flagpole at 577 meters elevation.
The park emerged from Walter Burley Griffin's 1912 plan for Canberra, with initial tree planting carried out in 1921 under Charles Weston's supervision.
The land forms part of Ngunnawal Country, with deep cultural connections maintained by Indigenous peoples through generations across this territory.
The park requires pedestrian access from Vernon Circle due to enclosure by major roads, with additional parking available in nearby lots.
Six major avenues radiate from this central point toward national landmarks, creating a geometric pattern visible in Canberra's urban layout.
