Glebe Park, Heritage park in City district, Canberra, Australia.

The 4.7-hectare urban park features a collection of English elms and oaks, traditional stone fences, steel railings, and multiple formal gateways.

Robert Campbell allocated this land to the Anglican Church in the 1840s as a glebe, with Glebe House constructed in 1871 using local clay bricks.

The park contains ten named gates that commemorate historical figures and places, reflecting the European settlement period of the Canberra region.

The park includes a rotunda, barbecue facilities, children's playground, and grassy areas, requiring permits for specific organized activities and events.

Among the seven hundred trees in the park, five hundred are English elms descended from the original plantings by Reverend Pierce Galliard Smith.
