Established European elms line the tranquil walking paths of this 140-year-old parkland. A short walk from the main strip of North Fitzroy, these gardens are an ideal place to laze about. Drop into local favourite supermarket Piedmonte's to pick up picnic provisions beforehand. Should the mood take you, there's a lawn bowls green next door.
