Quarries Park - Clifton Hill (VIC)

Andrew Guy Darling Gardens is a very scenic and reasonably quiet park. Its a great spot for meeting because it is on several bus lines and is a stones throw from Clifton Hill station, and another stones throw from the tram lines on Queens Parade. It has a nice playground area. The only drawback is that the public toilets are quite far from the playground. But once that is surmounted it is a great place for a family get-together. Remember to bring your own tables and chairs.

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.

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.

Joey Di Pietro The iconic skyline view of the Melbourne CBD.

Nurcihan Körpe There were literally thousands of flying foxes covering the trees. Every tree in the forest was packed with them, hanging in clusters and making constant noise. It was the first time I had ever seen so many in one place. I also spotted a huge spider for the first time, which made the whole experience even more surreal.

Thomas Liontis Cute dog, bigger then you would expect.

Shaun Davis It looks really old and a little creepy but at the same time it’s so peaceful and quiet

Gaurav Soneji Great for a trail of walk. Works out the muscles and refreshing to be there with fam or friends

Cathie N The architecture is amazing. Perfect area to hang out, social interaction, building community, art& culture events. Melbourne needs more public space like this!!!
