Lonely Planet review for Fitzroy Gardens

It’s testimony to the ‘cleaning up’ of the Cross that this once-dodgy park is now a reasonably safe place to hang out (probably helped by the austere police station housed in the corner). It still feels seedy, though: malnourished seagulls compete for scraps with pigeons who look like Keith Richards, while groaning, bearded homeless guys compile cigarettes from discarded butts. Known locally as the ‘Elephant Douche’, the dandelion-esque El Alamein Fountain (1961) sends waves of chlorinated spray across the open space. On Sundays a little flea market sets up in the plaza.
