Royal Park

This is a really large area between The Royal Children's Hospital and Melbourne Zoo. There are some very large open spaces, however there are also some nice pathways with beautiful old Australian trees. The whole area is well signposted.

Great place for active dogs with a peaceful bushy feel. Good access from North Melbourne and from Parkville. There is an all weather loop path or follow the rabbit tracks in the surrounding bush parkland. The central native grass land circle is very peaceful but dogs must be leashed to avoid disturbing the grass land critters.

A surprisingly expansive park with lots of other things to see within it. It's probably thr closest you will get to actually being in the bush without being it.

Royal Park is where the Royal Children's Hospital used to be. It is now a beautiful park, with a large playground, sand pit, and lot and lots of trees, green grass and hills.You could very easily spend a few hours here. There are public toilets there, and a map at each of the entry points.It looks very popular, lots of families, lots of kids. Street parking that is free on the weekends.

This park is a hidden gem in a lot of ways - bushland vibes on the edge of the city.Lots of lovely pockets to explore, you can spend a whole day here and still not see the whole park.Amazing sunsets across the park too. I love watching Swordplay on a Friday night, the cricket on weekends, and walking my dog. Give this park a go and you’ll find your happy place too.

2021 - There's no more bunnies... :(Still a great sunset spot.See ya later 2021.2012 - If you're a fan of bunny rabbits, there's plenty roaming about in this gigantic playground.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Royal Park in Melbourne recently and it was an unforgettable experience. The park is absolutely stunning and the scenery is breathtaking. The scenery was filled with lush green trees, beautiful flowers, and vibrant wildlife. I enjoyed taking a leisurely stroll through the park, admiring all of the different trees and plants. The park also has many wonderful attractions, such as a large lake, playgrounds, and picnic areas. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, and I could really take the time to appreciate the beauty of nature. The park is also conveniently located, making it easy to access. All in all, I had a wonderful time at Royal Park and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing escape.

Massive sprawling parklands and grassland area so close to Melbourne CBD. These gardens seem to go on and on. In some respects,the park is not particularly flashy, but on tthe other hand they are one of Melbourne's best kept secrets - offering an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Right near the Zoo, University of Melbourne and the Royal Children's Hospital. Accessible via tram, but best enjoyed on foot.

A perfect oasis of peace. Gorgeous wildlife. Home to Australian Native Garden. I've loved every second of my time here.

Royal Park provides an excellent view of the Melbourne skyline and is a great place to see the NYE fireworks without the crowds.
