Alexandra Gardens, Melbourne. These gardens run along the south bank of the Yarra River. They were developed in 1904. They connect you with King's Domain and the Royal Botanic Gardens. IYou are also connected with The Tan - a popular exercise track.

There are 2 paths one along the river and one further inland. You can walk along the path and watch the rowers come out of the historic rowing boat houses and row off along the river. There are plenty pf benches to sit on along the way and you can even see the Two Headed Angel sculpture on the other side of Birrarung Marr.

Most the pathways here are lined with palm trees and are a favourite spot for people to sit and watch Moomba water activities and have picnics in the warmer months [obviously pre-post current restrictions].

The stairs leading to the gardens are not steep and can be navigated with ease. There are also shared pedestrian / bike paths so that if you have mobility issues you can enter the gardens this way too. The paths themselves are mostly flat and nice for a stroll or exercise.

You can also get a nice side view of the city and a long view of the Yarra River both ways from this area. Get along to these gardens for exercise or a stroll with the allowed number of friends / family and remember to social distance.
