Collingwood Self-Guided Walking Tour - Collingwood (VIC)

666Spook I walk here frequently with my hell hound. Plenty of deadly snakes in summer. I saw a young man fighting a big gumtree, he was slashing its trunk with a box cutter.

Adam G The heritage listed "Temple of the Winds" rotunda in the Fitzroy Gardens is located north west of the Vistors Information Centre. Constructed in 1873, its one of the oldest structures in the Fitzroy Gardens and is another example of the sculptural elements popular in 19th century gardens. Its very similar but smaller than the Temple of the Winds in the Royal Botanic Gardens. The rotunda is a circular masonry structure with 10 columns resting on rough, dressed and exposed bluestone footings. The columns support a domed roof. The "Temple of the Winds" rotunda is popular for small celebrations and weddings.

Chris Sciberras Great playground. No toilets here though, so if your four year old comes running toward you demanding to poo, think fast. Again, great playground.

Mary Licata We had a lovely time at the veggie garden with friends and family. This part of the park is a wide open space where the kids can run and play. Beautiful view of the city.

Ying Yi Liao Lovely place! The community create a brain-like space to let people get relax and meditate. I was sitting there and feeling the chill energy. It was a nice afternoon for me.

Sarvesh Kumar Absolutely stunning lookout point! The view was incredible — the entire city was visible, stretched out beneath a clear sky. Perfect spot to relax, take photos, and soak in the beauty. A must-visit if youre in the area!

Hayley Meyer Beautiful, open area for dogs to run, explore and play! Easy walkways for people to walk along, stunning surrounds and lots of places for your pup to inspect! I thoroughly enjoyed making our way in and around the bush land, getting my feet wet in the creek and watch my boy run and have fun!

Senarath Angammana Beautiful and Peaceful Escape – Carlton Gardens, Melbourne Carlton Gardens is one of the most beautiful and relaxing green spaces in Melbourne. With its wide open lawns, elegant tree-lined paths, and vibrant flowerbeds, the view is simply stunning. Its a perfect place for a peaceful walk, a family picnic, or just to sit and enjoy nature. The gardens are very well maintained, clean, and full of charm. Youll also find some interesting features like fountains, a lake, and the historic Royal Exhibition Building right in the middle, adding to the area’s cultural appeal. Whether youre a local or a visitor, Carlton Gardens is a must-visit spot for some calm and beauty in the heart of the city.

Paul Richards A nice park with a brilliantly designed playground for kids, including a big slide and lots of sand. Beware of dogs though - some people let their dogs loose inside the playground, despite the signs. Its very well connected to the Merri Creek Trail. The car park usually has lots of space, at least on weekdays, and its also easily walkable from Clifton Hill station.
