Flagstaff Gardens

Flagstaff Gardens, Melbourne’s oldest park established in 1862, is named for the hilltop flagstaff that once signaled ships into the port. Located just north of the Central Business District (CBD), the park offers a serene escape with its lush lawns and mature trees. On sunny days, office workers often relax on the grass during their lunch breaks. The park’s prime location next to Queen Victoria Market makes it a popular spot for picnics, inviting visitors to enjoy the green space and the vibrant atmosphere of the city.
