Treasury Gardens

Treasury Gardens is one of Victoria’s oldest public gardens, a short walk from Parliament House in East Melbourne. Avenues of Moreton Bay figs and elms, lawns, an ornamental lake with ducks, and the Victorian Emergency Services Memorial give families a shady central-city pause. There is no playground here — use it for a picnic and a lake walk, then continue to Fitzroy Gardens if you want play equipment. Trams 48 and 75 along Flinders Street, or walk from Flinders Street Station.
