Alexandra Gardens Park — Attraction in Ararat

Alexandra Gardens is a spectacular park in Ararat, Victoria with a lot to offer. An incredible multi level walk-in fernery slopes down toward the terraced lawns and ornamental lake. An 800m pram/wheelchair-friendly walking track makes its way around the lake, across pretty bridges and through the Japanese themed islands. Close to the fernery lies a fantastic playground with lots of unique play equipment, toddler play space and shade sails.

Local outdoor swimming pool is also within/bordering gardens $5 entry. Just across the road (again 2 minute walk) is skate park suitable for skates, skateboards,...

We have stopped here many times over the years. It is a great park to have a break, a playground with shade sail, toilets clean, a small cafe.

The lake even has its own island ( I liked it better with all the trees and lush plants it was like a jungle) The caretakers and volunteers have done an excellent job. Thankyou for this...
