Parks
One of Melbourne's biggest and best parks and directly across the road from our unit.
Edinburgh Gardens is bounded by Brunswick Street and St Georges Road to the west, the curve of Alfred Crescent to the north and east, and Freeman Street to the south. It was created from a grant of land in March 1862 by Queen Victoria and laid out by Clement Hodgkinson, who designed many of Melbourne's parks and gardens.[1] At approximately 24 hectares (59 acres) in size,[2] the park is huge by inner urban standards.
