Citizens Park

Citizens Park sits on Highett Street in Richmond, a lively inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne. A much-loved local park, it's a lovely green space — combining open lawns, sporting grounds, walking paths and a relaxed setting, the kind of versatile, family-friendly park that's a genuine local favourite for some time outdoors.

The appeal is that combination of open green space and great amenity: room to walk, play, picnic, exercise and relax, with sporting facilities and a pleasant setting, all in a convenient Richmond location. It's a beloved spot for families, dog walkers, sport and anyone after some time outdoors in the inner east.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 770 reviews, it's clearly a well-loved community space. The park is free and open, but facilities, sporting grounds and any events vary, so it's worth taking sun protection on a warm day and checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a walk, a play, a picnic or some time outdoors, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Citizens Park in Richmond.
