This garden is located next the Queen Victoria Market, and it’s a lovely place to unwind from the hustle and bustle. During the evenings, there will be people bringing their dogs to run around the dog-leash area 🐕. If you are dog lover or simply want to meet new friends, this is the garden for you!

Flagstaff Gardens is an absolute gem in the heart of Melbourne. This urban oasis is a testament to the city's commitment to green spaces. I'm always delighted by the lush greenery, well-maintained lawns, and the beautiful variety of flowers that bloom throughout the year. Whether you're looking for a peaceful place to relax, have a picnic, or just take a leisurely stroll, Flagstaff Gardens has it all. The historic significance of this park, being one of Melbourne's oldest, adds to its charm. Plus, the convenient location near the CBD makes it easily accessible. It's a fantastic spot to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy a slice of nature right in the heart of Melbourne.

What a lovely day to have a pucnic in the gardens. Provisions from Queen Victoria Markets gave us a delicious feast under the shade of a gorgeous tree, sitting on lush green lawn. As we looked around, it was a park full of people with a similar idea... yet, it seemed like we were well socially distanced. There was a badminton game happening which was entertaining, plus cute pups on leads ( who entertained us). And a perfect day, did I mention, with only a zephyr of a breeze.

Just around the corner from my home is this nice place. In summer and winter you will find there singles, couples, groups and children enjoying their time. Have a picnic, take a walk with your dog or just sit down and enjoy the sun ... And if it is too hot you might prefer to sit down besides one of these beautiful trees.

Flagstaff Gardens is a popular place and a pleasant surprise - on this Sunday in the summer sun it certainly was. If you prefer a scenic route walk along the path through the middle and enjoy the trees and plant life. People took advantage of the grass for picnics or sleeping. Others used the 2 tennis courts. Kids enjoyed the play equipment. There are toilets here and across William St at the back end of the Vic Market. Flagstaff station is at the other end and trams can carry you here. All good fun

One of Melbourne’s most iconic parks. Contains tennis court, bowling green, BBQ area and children’s playground facilities. Some nice trees and places to chill. Also great for walking the dog.

Open space, clean and plenty of open green space. Many local jog around and across the park, while others use the large grassy area to let their kids or dogs run around. This garden 🪴 does not have any playgrounds for kids but plenty of space to run around.

Such a beautiful park. Beautiful horizons, flowers and a nice place for kids to enjoy. When we went, people were doing bbq too.

Beautiful park in the CBD, can get busy at times but generally relaxing overall. Lots of slopes and steps but plenty of benches to sit.

Inviting park with benches and plenty of tree cover. Easy access to tram lines and train station.

A great place to unwind and take a nice walk. Has some interesting history. There is a playground children, benches and a boule club. Also nice to go there when it rains, then it’s empty and you have the park all to yourself.

I really love this garden, not busy at all. Very clean environment including fresh air.

Grabbing some time with nature done easily here. Nice lawn to laze on, and children run around. The rolling hills give it a slight English garden feel, with some nice calm within the city centre. Good for a picnic or visit to the playground, also walking the dog (on leash).

It's a pretty big park for one so close to the CBD square. Facilities include playground, BBQ facilities, picnic benches though all of those are on the north east corner of the park. There's also tennis courts on the grounds which can be hired through Active Melbourne site. The park can also be booked for events and weddings outside of public hours - after 5.30pm. Some areas are overrun with seagulls and their droppings, but there's also corners you can find to pretend you're not right in the middle of the city. Overall glad to have this green space here.

Excellent park on the heart of the city. Excellent playground. Nearby to transport, train station, Queen Victoria market, food, cafes, etc.

Lovely park right in middle of cbd, Melbourne. Old trees, well maintained green lawns. Pets allowed. 🌹

Flagstaff Gardens is a beautiful city park with mini-Central Park vibes. There's lots of shade under trees on hot days. It's particularly nice later in the day and soon after dark, when the possums wake up.

Nice looking place. Plenty of shade from some beautiful trees. Lots of grass to sit down on (and benches too), or even just throw a ball around. A playground for kids. Can be a bit busy at lunch time, due to location. But that location also makes it an easy place to get to and there is usually plenty around to do (atm it's covid season)

Very sophisticated and highly chic. Very stylish decor. Very good and prompt customer service. Very good amazing views from the hotel. Good desk and superb concierge. Easily accessible to different parts of the city via trams very good room service economical at the same time worth the stay. Worth the time and money expended.

I absolutely adore this place.Lush green grass with high emerald green trees which are home to possums. This place is packed with kids, youngsters and old people.very close to queen Victoria market.also, can be seen easily accessible by tram 30 ,35 or 58.

Great CBD chill-out zone. Even with restrictions currently lifted there are very few people here. It's nice to see that Melbournians are remaining vigilant of the pandemic.

For family nice Park for kids play.

Beautiful place to spend with family. Children friendly, dog friendly garden.

Lovely place to stop and recharge in the middle of a hectic day. Pleasant surrounds and copious shade from spreading trees makes this park an oasis in the middle of the urban wilds.

Beautiful garden that has small green hills and playground with BBQ facility and public toilets. This is close to Queen Victoria market. Recommended for family to enjoy shopping from market and relax at this beautiful garden.

The grass is so soft. Beautiful trees to provide shelter and cooling. My family enjoyed the location and making friends with the birds

comfort field. perfect weather to rest. all will be stable with this garden. if you have kids, go to playground. if you are alone or couple, bring some snacks and get rest at field~

It’s my favorite garden in Melbourne. It was near my apartment 😍🥹 always green and beautiful. It’s nice for walking, doing exercise and walking your dogs. I used to walk there with my neighbor and her cute dog ❤️ I have beautiful memories there 🥹❤️

Convenient location right next to Queen Victoria Market. The fallen maple leaves on the grass really look nice. Good for a run any time of the day.

Beautiful spot to escape the city. Has tram and train station at the park. Beautiful trees. Very large park.

Nice place to chill and relax where you can picnic. The flower garden is so beautiful. This park is located near train and tram station.

May be a good park (picnic area) but one of the worst sites to view New Year Fireworks behind the big trees.

It's a beautiful spot of green right in the middle of high rises. Great views from the gardens. Lots of wonderful flowering plants which make a colourful picture when in bloom. Lots of trees providing shade in the hot afternoons. We were there in summer and it was really pleasant walking on the paths and sitting under the trees. New Year's eve saw a fantastic fireworks display at the garden, with live music performances and food trucks.

Great park with different community recreational areas such as lawn bowling, tennis, and football which requires advanced booking. There are also beautiful trees and flowers based on the different seasons.

Flagstaff gardens has got nice vibes and has very convenient location, train station and metro station is just outside of the park. We were there for NYE fireworks. But I think from Dockland or from some other place we get better view for fireworks. Preparations , security, services were very nice. There were food trucks and lots of toilets, to avoid any inconvenience.

A very nice and laid back garden perfect for picnics. The trees provide a nice cover and the place is clean. It’s also spring time now and the flowers and trees are in bloom.

As I live near this Garden, I often go there to walk, run or just to picnic with my husband. Really love this garden. The trees, birds and especially cute possums make the place special and enjoyable.

A great place for everyone to do their exercises and just to relax at a park with a great atmosphere..

Beautiful place to reflect on God and Repent of Sin, Glory to the Lord most high!

It's a buffer place to exercise or to just take a walk and admire all the possums.

I'm a big fan of this park, it's close enough to the city but big enough that it feels like you're away from it all. some super cute dogs here too!

Beautiful gardens. Well maintained. It's a fantastic space that is well used by many. Whether it's sport, family picnic, quiet time with someone special or getting the kids outside and having some fun. The gardens are big enough to find a space that suits your needs.

A quiet space in the center of the city.. lovely views all around.

A good place to catch pokemons, for you Pokemon Go players. It's always full of Scythers.

I want give 5 star, but too many load works at this term. I can not running haha ? Still beautiful place in middle of CBD, when you want feel better this place is for refreshing your self.

Excellent place to spend family time with barbecue. Clean space for kids to play

Service information poor

Great place to see possums after dark. They are so tame they'll literally walk up to you.

Great garden in the heart of Melbourne's CBD - tram access and parking around - great to relax and walk around anytime of the year. Highly recommended

一個讓人很放鬆的地方，地面也很乾淨

We had a quick lunch here after some business, it was so relaxing and peaceful.

Big and nice for a shinning day

Super clean and plenty of open green space. Many locals jog around the park, while others use the large grassy area to let their kids or dogs run around. The park does not have any playgrounds. Also, you make at pay to park. Plenty of street parking on weekends.

Cool as

Has spiritual atmosphere ??

Just beautiful and relaxing place to be.

Inner city get away, great for walks and talks. Plenty of exercise junkies taking advantage of the grassed areas. Well worth a stroll through the trees.

Beautiful garden in the middle of Melbourne city.

Peaceful spot in heart of Melbourne with good amenities

Eddie Ameri, west melbourne. 9 Roden st west Melbourne

Great oasis in the city.

Beautiful walking trail

Gorgeous park with green grass, rosellas in the oak trees and people enjoying the great outdoors within the wonderful CBD. A stone's throw from Vic Market.

Beautiful garden in the middle of Melbourne CBD. It's very large and has a different section for all kinds activities. One can see lot of possums after sunset.

Great park in the city. Good for strolling around

Even though I live in city, I’ve never got the chance to visits but finally I did it. It’s so clean and a great place to do your daily workouts. They even have those social distancing circles on one side of the park. Such a peaceful place . Love it!!! 💕

Nice relaxing park just on the edge of the city. Usually not too busy. Great place for exercising or just chilling on the grass

Really relaxing park directly across from Radisson Flagstaff, Flagstaff station, stone's throw away from Queen Victoria market. Perfect to relax during the day time if weather permits. Lots of spacing for social distancing.

A beautiful, green, and great place for just sitting and recharging yourself. Just in front of Flagstaff station

This like all of Melbourne City's gardens is a green oasis with its own character, Victoria is 'The Garden State' for good reason. This one has an historical bowls club for community use & a nearby sport friendly open area, play equip & BBQ's. It is picnic paradise, soft lawns shaded by old growth native trees located next to Queen Vic Market for fresh supplies. A smaller garden it is a safe space to walk & meet at night with good lighting/visibility & conveniently close to Train/Tram/Bus for transport home.

This park has a great play area and plenty of tables however there is no shelter structures. The are only 2 bbqs and they are not great. A beautiful city park in Melbourne that needs an update.

Beautiful place for a relaxing sit. Enjoying the calm, especially when the city can get busy!!

Love this place

Small but lovely park. Room enough to rest during the day lying on the grass under a tree. Easily accessible from kinds street, near queen Vic market etc. Few sculptures available. And also a fountain.

(Translated by Google) Good place for family gathering (Original) 家庭聚会的好场所

Nice

Nice park in the Melbourne CBD to take a break and have some fresh air. Kids play area and beautiful garden and pleanty of spave to enjoy your time being in the CBD parking could be hard to find during day time but if you use public transport flagsyaff station is right next to it.

Absolutely beautiful

Beautiful, calm and quiet place in the middle of the the city.

Its right beside the station and since I had time whilst waiting for my train , I walked in the park . Its really nice and quite.

Nice ambience

Amazing place in the middle of the CBD!!

Nice garden for walk and run in midst of the CBD and nearby to tram and train stop

Very nice place to be with friends

Great for outdoor events and recreation

Nice garden to lay in after a bike ride, right in the heart of Melbourne cbd

Lovely park for relaxing in the shade

Great weather and nice bowling club close to Vic Markets.

Small but beautiful park to relax , children playground, perfect for a young family, or a picnic.

Gray hound

A very nice public space to have a beer and a picnic

Most beautiful park in center of CBD Melbourne.

Very nice gardens, well worth a visit for a walk or a picnic

Swings are way kool

Great garden for picnic and bbq with family and friends

Had a great time, playing lawn bowls

Great relaxing place to sit down and read a book have a BBQ or a picnic under the lovely trees

Great on a good day, but can get bad when you walk into a swarm of little bugs, I recommend staying on the outside of the park to enjoy it to its full extent.

10/10 would sit on grass again

A wonderful garden and green landscape that is well maintained and central to the Law Courts and Flagstaff train station. There is plenty of room for picnicking, groups and activities. A great place to visit or stop for a quick rest.

Great running track at 2-3am in the morning. Peaceful and safe with lots of surrounding street lights.

Amazing !!!

Plenty of space for social distancing drinks with friends without the need to book. Grass is soft, downfall is lack of toilets, closest we found were at tram stop opposite Market

Fantastic park fits for any activities with your loved ones. — Great place for a picnic, walking dogs or cats, friendly playground for kids. Except there are lots of irresponsible dog’s owners letting their dogs off-leash in designated on-leash area (yeah there is a sign which people refuse to read). Actually entire Flagstaff Gardens is on-leash area.

Nice pleasant day to get some exercise - just remember to be covid-safe whilst doing so

Very nice place, where you can meet the nature inside the city great for meeting your friends and family, BBQ area 😀 great for walking 🚶‍♂️ and running, relaxing while drinking your coffee ☕

One of Melbourne's oldest parks, and is of important historical significance. Right within the CBD and can easily be accessed by tram and there is the Flagstaff train station right in front of the gardens. Perfect place to come and relax or go for a walk.

It's one beautiful park best suited for a jog, run it just to relax with your family.

I’ve enjoyed a great time here. I love this place.

Best for dog walking lots of little doggies after 5pm

Fairly decent park in the western end of CBD. While not as exciting as the botanical gardens or the Fitzroy gardens, this park has plenty on offer including wildlife, spots for picnics, benches and BBQ. They even have a bowling club in there. Very easy access to the Victoria Market and public transport too...🌞

Great place for a picnic with ample parking. Convenient for public transport. Also nice place to go to in between court hearings.

A relaxing well cared for small public inner city garden with park benches, flowers and well established shady deciduous old trees and neat trimmed grass that is very inviting. Next to train station and Queen Victoria Market. Nice to stroll or relax in, or bring a rug to sit, like on, gather with friends. I saw a few dogs being walked here. Meandering paths add to the charm of this little park that is blind by busy main roads in all four sides.

Was there on new years eve. Really enjoyed it!

Nice and beautiful garden with separate children and dog play area.

A perfect place to sit and watch the world go by

I spent my birthday last year with my friends, partner and dog here and recently had a picnic here, it's such a relaxing day when you are here. You just get lost in the beauty and relaxation of nature. You kind of almost forget you're in a big city. Such a very family friendly garden, great for a romantic picnic or even just time to yourself reading a good book.

Located centrally, across queen Victoria market. Ample space for running.. kids can ride cycle/scooter.. playground for kids. Safe.

Always enjoyed jogging at night. I lived in an apartment nearby for 3 years then moved to suburbs. Definitely a place to be missed.

Nice park with a variety of places to settle down. Tidy and no issues with finding space to sit down on grass or sit on a chair. Nice view of the city also from areas. Close to some shops also if you require a drink etc.

Usually don't have to wade thru bog and mud, thanks to the Ariba Mexican Festival. Other than that, absolutely stunning, a place of peace and nature in an otherwise noisy concert jungle

A gorgeous garden(right next to a train station) repleted with sheer greenery and complemented by huge skyscrapers all around. It offers a superb panoramic package altogether for you to do various recreational activities like exercising, relaxing, excursions, etc.

Melbourne Flagstaff Gardens would have to be one of the hidden gems of the CBD Situated just outside the huddle grid near Flagstaff train station and running along the William Street. Train line is a dedicated full-size city block park. One of the oldest in Melbourne. The park has tennis, courts, playgrounds, alone, bowls, club with bar, toilets, and some amazing views of the CBD skyline. A popular spot for picnics with the Vic market only a quick, five minute stroll away for grab a drink and enjoy the break from city.

It’s a beautiful garden with beautiful trees. It’s not very big but you can easily enjoy your quiet time with the sunshine in sunny days. If you are a dog lover, come in the afternoon for you almost can see all different types of dogs.

Fantastic park with beautiful grounds, wonderful views of the city, right next to Queen Victoria Market, and lots of playground equipment and other amenities for the visitors.

The only large park on this side of the CBD. Worth a visit in the area if you're a worker or simply passing through. It's no botanical gardens, but a pleasant place to walk through. In the night time the brush tail possums come down looking for food from people in the park.

Visited first time today. And we love the garden.. my daughter had so much fun in playground and enjoyed a lot.

Great events and beautiful garden. Park far and get the tram. Otherwise it's $16-21 for parking on weekends.

One of the best fire drills I've had in a long time. It's good to see all the people from our 570 Burke Street at Flagstaff gardens. Glad it wasn't raining

My favourite park to rest in the grass, it is so clean y wonderful
