One of Yarra's largest parks, the 24-hectare Edinburgh Gardens is in the heart of North Fitzroy.
It features plenty of open lawn, specimen trees and shaded areas, connected by an extensive network of paths.
Edinburgh Gardens is close to Rushall train station and Brunswick Street trams. Its proximity to the Capital City Trail makes it easy to access by foot or bike.
To have a look at the venue, watch our Edinburgh Gardens photo slideshow.
