Royal Park
Melbourne's largest inner-city park, containing broad open spaces, habitat areas, sports facilities, paths, and Melbourne Zoo.
Details
Royal Park is much larger and less formal than a central garden. Roads, rail, sports areas, habitat zones, and Melbourne Zoo divide the landscape, so start from a named destination rather than expecting a single obvious circuit. Check maps and path conditions, carry water, and avoid assuming that a route across the park will be lit or sheltered after dark.
