Lonely Planet review for Fawkner Park

This huge expanse of green is loved and used by the area’s sport folk and lapdogs alike. Walkways lined with elms, oaks and Moreton Bay fig trees provide structure to the otherwise open fields. Barbecues and charming little pavilions are available for public use.

    A great place to relax & let time go by

    donuts99 recommends this,

    Like many of the parks in Melbourne, Fawkner Park is a great place to find a nice spot to curl up with a book & let time pass you by. Easily accessable by tram from the city centre or a 25 minute walk if your energetic.

    Village Green Atmosphere in Inner City Melbourne

    ride_on_postman recommends this,

    On a perfect Saturday afternoon in summer, Fawkner Park, echoes with the sounds of flanneled fools (cricketers), clapping, shouting and cheering their teams to victory. The small grounds with fast outfields make for an entertaining day of spectating. If it wasn't for the high-rise apartment blocks in the background you'd think you were in a village somewhere in the UK...
