Description
King's Domain Gardens is a picturesque park located in Melbourne, Australia.
Covering an area of 36 hectares, the park is nestled in the Government House Reserve, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, and the Shrine Reserve. Managed by the Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, the park features an impressive collection of mature trees, beautiful flower beds, and a mixture of deciduous and evergreen plants. Visitors can also spot various birds and wildlife during their stroll in the park.
The park is home to many landmarks, including the Australian Turkish Friendship Memorial, the Indigenous Remains Memorial, and statues like King George V and the Pioneer Women's Memorial Garden. The Kings Domain Resting Place, which marks the repatriation of Aboriginal people's remains, provides a peaceful place for reflection.
King's Domain Gardens is open year-round and entry is free. The best time to visit is during the spring and autumn months when the mild Melbourne climate is ideal for outdoor activities and the flowers are in full bloom. Visitors can reach the park by walking from Southbank or Federation Square, or by taking the tram to Grant St-Police Memorial/St Kilda Rd.
