Parks and gardens in Australian Capital Territory

The Australian Capital Territory offers a diverse range of curated green spaces, from the Australian National Botanic Gardens’ extensive collection of native flora to the 250-hectare National Arboretum. Visitors can explore heritage-listed rose gardens in Parkes, view contemporary works at the lakeside Sculpture Garden, or relax in Commonwealth Park. For a historical perspective, Magna Carta Place sits near Old Parliament House, while The Cotter provides a scenic dam-side setting for picnics and recreation outside the city center.
