Darling Gardens

Darling Gardens in Clifton Hill is a charming park that offers a peaceful retreat from city life.

It has a strong heritage character and features open lawns, shady avenues, and a playground. The park is also a popular outdoor venue for small ceremonies and events, with facilities such as public toilets, picnic tables, and a rotunda that can be reserved for weddings.

The rotunda is surrounded by beautiful lawns and trees, providing a picturesque backdrop for events. To book the rotunda, an event permit is required, especially if there will be more than 50 attendees, external catering, amplified sound, or specific location requirements. A minimum of two weeks' notice is needed for permits, and they must be carried by the hirer at all times.

Alcohol consumption is allowed in the park between 9 am and 9 pm, but selling alcohol requires a temporary liquor license. The park is not wheelchair accessible, but there is an accessible toilet available. Dogs are allowed in designated off-leash areas but must be kept on-leash near the playgrounds. The park's location on Gold Street in Clifton Hill is easily accessible by public or private transportation.
