Lonely Planet review for Hyde Park

It sounds like a cliché, but Hyde Park really is the city’s lungs. It’s a formal park with manicured gardens, ibises probing the undergrowth, homeless hombres sleeping on benches and a giant chess set attracting nods and whispers from spectators. The tree-formed tunnel running down its spine looks particularly cool at night, illuminated by fairy lights. The park’s northern end is crowned by the richly symbolic art-deco Archibald Memorial Fountain, featuring Greek mythological figures. At the southern end, the shallow Pool of Reflection fronts the Anzac Memorial.
