Finally! Got to explore the garden at the junction of Balwyn & Canterbury Rd which always looked inviting driving past. While it is more of a park, a small one at that - it does have a deep gully sloping terrain in the middle with a hidden creek.. Bitumen paths along the top & one cutting through over the bridge. Dogs & cyclists allowed. With the busy drone of traffic along Canterbury Rd even on a Sunday - it is not exactly tranquil. No playground but has a gazebo for added interest & plenty of garden seats. The limited floral plantings & parterre are along the Station side & back boundary. Has potential for smaller gravel pathways to enable a good workout given the sloping terrain. The beaut feature of this garden is the massive oak trees & elms that provide a cool canopy. There is one BBQ & bench table. Just walk through from Surrey Hill station carpark where you will find a park on weekends. Toilet at park entry on Canterbury Rd or at train station.

A really nice old park nestled between Canterbury station and Canterbury road. There's plenty of car parking in the railway car park for visitors although spots maybe lacking during work days. It's peaceful and lush with aged tree canopies that provide welcome shade. It would be nice if the council could provide additional picnic benches for families and some swings for the kids.

A beautiful garden right next to Canterbury Train station. This garden is very well maintained and is always kept neat and clean. It's a lovely location to relax or take a stroll. The gardens themselves are very pretty and a delight to to observe, and there is also a pavilion and barbecue at the garden. Each year at Christmas time the garden also hosts a Christmas carols event which is a fun evening if you can attend.

Really this garden so nice. After lockdown this is for me best garden i visit in state victoria.

Small park/garden but very well maintained. A great place to spend time on a sunny day.

The most beautiful park I've found in Melbourne if you like European style deciduous trees and grass with Victorian style rotunda, bridge and benches. It is small and constant traffic noise nearby but very picturesque. Not much in the way of flowers, but none of the parks seem to have any in summer 😥

Such a serene beautiful garden right next to the Canterbury station!! Nice place for a quick stroll or just to enjoy some picnic with lots of benches as well!!

A lovely historic park which is great for a picnic, a stroll about. Beautiful trees to sit under to relax. Toilet and plenty of parking near by and close to Canterbury railway station and shops. I will add that the park was very crowded on the day I went in October 2021 and I put this down to the fact that Melbourne was not long out of lockdown and that people were enjoying a lovely day out.

Canterbury Gardens has a vintage, hilly and leafy feel, from my perspective. I think it’s beautiful.

Beautiful garden.

Gardens are well maintained. Plenty of trees and open lawn areas.

Beautiful landscape, amazing scenery, and good fresh air for your lungs and mind.

Good place for a tranquil getaway to read a book. Beautiful garden, adjacent to Canterbury Station and quaint Maling Rd.

Beautiful park that I have come across in Melbourne. The park has vintage vibes. Great place to unwind with family.

Delightful and well kempt gardens. Great for large family catch-ups and picnics. Public toilet fairly clean, could do with some hooks for bag/coat.

Nice gardens to wander, sheltered area if needed and plenty of room to put a blanket down on the grass to have a picnic, read a book or just relax!

This I must say is my favourite park to wonder through. I must take the train here. But there is a certain romantic ambience, a feeling to the air which I cannot say I've found elsewhere in Melbourne. There is something definitely charming about this modest park. A space for all peoples, the thinkers and the romantics most so. Bring a lady friend, and have a picnic in this fantastic park.

A very well maintain park. Great place for kids and adults. A little walk around the park can give a great pleasure whenever you tried of city crowd.

Went to Opera in the Park to enjoy a fantastic performance of L’Elisir d’amore. Great singing. Pity it’s only on once a year.

The garden you would enjoy in every minute in all the seasons.
