Description
This small triangular park is a pleasant respite at the Spring Street end of Town, with views of Parliament House, St. Patrick's Cathedral, St Peter's Eastern Hill, the Old Synagogue, the Old Baptist Church and the Eastern Hill Fire Station.
The Coles Fountain in these gardens is unusual because you can walk inside the curtains of cascading water - a pleasant experience on a hot Melbourne day.
Pastor Sir Douglas and Lady Gladys were two of Australia’s most prominent Indigenous leaders and Traditional Owners. A memorial, erected in Parliament Gardens, comprises two major works; a figurative bronze statue by Louis Laumen and an art etching in bluestone by Ngarra Murray.
