Alexandra Gardens Park

A great place to relax or meet friends...Beautiful sights along the way, either you walk a jog, jog yourself or watch people with a coffee.

A beuatiful and lish gardens and playground. We stop here on our way through to Adelaide every year, and on other holidays that take us out west. We highly recommend stopping here and expericing these gardens with kids.

Great place to stroll around the lake and view the water birds and breathe in the fresh air. Gardens and pathways are well kept..great to keep under the tree canopy on a hot day, or out in the sunshine when the temps are cooler. Very relaxing and plenty of placed to just sit and take in the views. Enjoyed by our fur babies too...plenty of dogs taken on walks with a variety of posts with 'disposable bags' for cleanup of your animals poop. Definitely worth a visit.

These gardens are very pretty. The orchid house is in full display and the flower scents fill your nose as you walk in the doors. The lake is full and there are many water birds. The cafe is a real bonus. Such a variety in the menu and very reasonable prices. The gardens are a short walk from town or there's plenty of parking. We love it.

Such a nice park near the middle of town. Great place to sit and relax or go for a welk

Good for short walk .Kids will enjoy this space .

Alexandra Gardens is a spectacular park in Ararat, Victoria with a lot to offer. An incredible multi level walk-in fernery slopes down toward the terraced lawns and ornamental lake. An 800m pram/wheelchair-friendly walking track makes its way around the lake, across pretty bridges and through the Japanese themed islands. Close to the fernery lies a fantastic playground with lots of unique play equipment, toddler play space and shade sails.Alexandra Gardens are worth visiting for the walk-in fernery alone. Sealed, narrow walking tracks wind their way through the beautiful ferns, vines, stones and water features. There are many different tracks, turns, steps and corridors to explore within a fairly compact area. See if you can find the stone-lined cave hidden amongst the impressive array of plants. This fernery will make you feel as though you have stepped right into a rainforest, and is a credit to the town of Ararat.

After I did the tour at J Ward across the road (which was brilliant by the way) I brought my picnic lunch here and sat at the tables and watched the ducks and swan mum and dad with their 6 babies. There is a cafe to get lunch, coffee and ice cream and good clean toilets. Shame some of the garden has fallen into disrepair but it is still lovely to have lunch and go for a walk on the well maintained sealed pathway. My visit tired in perfectly with the Gaol visit and having lunch in the gardens was an added bonus
