Why it's worth checking out
Burnley Park sits on Yarra Boulevard in Richmond, by the Yarra River in one of inner Melbourne's most popular suburbs. A 4.4 rating from 317 reviews reflects its standing as a much-loved local green space.
The appeal is a lovely, leafy riverside park — open green space by the Yarra for a picnic, a play, a walk or simply relaxing, a peaceful spot close to the city. Its Richmond location, by the river, makes it an easy and pleasant addition to a wider day out.
