Telopea Park, Public park in Barton, Australia.
Telopea Park extends over 8 hectares of land with mature exotic and native trees, including eucalyptus species and California big trees.
The park establishment in 1922 followed Walter Burley Griffin's 1918 plan for Canberra, with formal plantings marking the end of Sydney Avenue.
The park sits on Ngunnawal Country, representing lands managed by Aboriginal people who maintained deep connections with this environment for thousands of years.
Visitors can access barbecue areas, playground equipment, cycling paths, walking tracks, and public toilets throughout the designated recreational spaces.
The park takes its name from the Waratah flower, the New South Wales floral emblem, following Griffin's vision of naming parks after native plants.
