Central Gardens offers everything you could wish for in a park. Officially opened in 1900, this is a Hawthorn oasis.

You will find flower gardens, BBQs, pathways, lawn bowls, public toilets, shady trees, and a kids' playground with some very novel apparatus including a rocket.

Situated next to Swinburne Uni, its perfect for a weekend stroll or laze in the sun. If you want to take a break from shopping or the hustle and bustle of Glenferrie Road, there is nowhere better.

You'll find a mix of people enjoying the surroundings; families, dog walkers, students and couples, and it's more than large enough to find a quiet spot for yourself.

There are no food outlets in the Central Gardens but there are some cheap cafes and a shop nearby on Swinburne Campus. Otherwise, bring a picnic or BBQ food and you're all set.
