Flagstaff Gardens, Urban park in West Melbourne, Australia
The 7.2-hectare gardens contain extensive lawns with mature trees, flower beds, and sculptures spread across different sections of the landscaped terrain.
Established in 1862, the gardens were named after a flagstaff erected in 1840 that served as a signal point between Melbourne and incoming ships.
The gardens function as a central meeting point where Melbourne residents gather for seasonal events, community activities, and outdoor celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can access tennis courts, a bowling club, playground facilities, and electric barbecues while enjoying the shaded areas under elm trees.
The gardens hold the distinction of being Melbourne's oldest park and provide a habitat for native wildlife, including Australian possums.
