Best suburbs in Melbourne for parks

If you’re looking for suburbs in Melbourne with genuinely great parks, a few really stand out. Fitzroy North and Carlton North have Edinburgh Gardens and Princes Park, which are huge and super social. Parkville has Royal Park, one of the biggest inner-city green spaces. Kew and Hawthorn are great if you like leafy river trails around Yarra Bend Park, and South Yarra gives you the Botanic Gardens and Fawkner Park if you want something a bit more polished. Elwood and St Kilda are also nice if you prefer parks mixed with beach vibes.
