Why it's worth checking out
Curtain Square is a charming pocket of green on Rathdowne Street in Carlton North, one of inner Melbourne's most pleasant residential suburbs. A 4.6 rating from 373 visitors reflects its standing as a much-loved local park.
The appeal is a leafy, peaceful green space with mature trees — a lovely spot for a walk, a picnic, letting the kids play or simply relaxing under the canopy. Its Carlton North location, close to the cafes and shops of Rathdowne Street, makes it an easy and pleasant green break.
Parks can have changing facilities, events and seasonal conditions, so if you're planning around playgrounds, amenities or a gathering, it's worth checking current details with the local council. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good.
