Glebe Park

Tucked away in the heart of Canberra's city centre, Glebe Park is a leafy escape that feels like stepping into a traditional English garden.

Shaded by grand elms and oaks that turn golden in autumn, the park features a charming 19th-century rotunda, a children's playground, and striking sculptures—including Eglė the Queen of Serpents, a gift from the Lithuanian community.

Wide grassy lawns invite picnics and play, while the park's ten historic gateways, each named to reflect Canberra's early European heritage, give it a sense of old-world charm. With barbecues, paved paths, and plenty of space for weddings, events, or quiet afternoons, Glebe Park blends history, culture, and natural beauty right in the city centre.
