Flagstaff Gardens – Green Calm in the Urban Buzz

Just a short stroll from Pegasus lies Flagstaff Gardens, Melbourne’s oldest park and one of its most beloved green spaces. Spread across 7 hectares, this tranquil oasis is perfect for early-morning jogs, casual picnics, or simply taking a break under the shade of mature elm trees. The gardens feature beautifully manicured lawns, a bowling green, and seasonal flowerbeds that brighten the landscape year round. It’s also rich in history, once a burial ground during the Gold Rush era, Flagstaff Gardens now provides a refreshing escape from the city’s fast pace. For guests with kids, there’s a playground on-site, making it a convenient spot for family downtime between sightseeing.
