Princes Park is one of Victoria's finest regional parks and a signature attraction in Maryborough, offering a blend of grand landscaping, recreational facilities and goldfields history.
Developed during the late 19th century at the height of Maryborough's prosperity, Princes Park reflects the civic pride of a flourishing gold rush town. Carefully designed avenues, mature trees and expansive lawns create a sense of scale rarely seen in regional parks, making it a standout destination within the Central Goldfields.
At the heart of the park is Lake Victoria, a picturesque ornamental lake that adds to the park's beauty and provides a peaceful setting for walking, relaxation and photography. A network of paths winds through the park, connecting open lawns, shaded picnic areas and key heritage features.
Princes Park is also home to notable historic structures including the Princes Park Grandstand, Memorial Gates and band rotunda. Sporting facilities, playgrounds and open spaces cater to both organised events and casual recreation, making the park popular with locals and visitors alike.
Regularly hosting community celebrations, sporting fixtures and seasonal events, Princes Park continues its long tradition as Maryborough's premier gathering place. Located close to the historic town centre, it complements nearby heritage attractions and gardens, encouraging visitors to linger and explore everything Maryborough has to offer.
