Why it's worth checking out
Lincoln Square sits in Carlton, one of Melbourne's most established inner-city suburbs, near the university. With 600 reviews behind its 4.5 rating, it's a much-loved green space.
The appeal is a leafy city square with a lovely atmosphere — green space, mature trees, a fountain and pathways, a pleasant spot for a stroll, a picnic or a moment of calm close to the university and the city. It's a genuine local favourite for students, workers and visitors alike.
Parks and squares have changing facilities and seasonal conditions, so check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection and water, and take your time.
