Treasury Gardens Treasury Gardens

The small and peaceful Treasury Gardens sit between Fitzroy Gardens and Spring Street, and are a popular venue for community events and rallies.

Treasury Gardens is one of the state's oldest public gardens. The heritage-listed gardens are a short walk from Victoria's Parliament House and form an integral component of the Spring Street government precinct.

Originally set aside as a public reserve in 1851, the gardens were developed in 1867 to a design by Clement Hodgkinson and then further developed by William Guilfoyle.

The gardens feature avenues of mature trees along the crossing paths, forming a 'cathedral' or 'tunnel' effect. A prominent landscape feature is the contrasting evergreen foliage of conifers, palms, and Moreton Bay figs against a background of deciduous elms, oaks, and poplars.

Other features include a Robert Burns memorial; an ornamental lake with a monument to President John F Kennedy; a memorial statue of Sir William Clarke; and the Victorian Emergency Services Memorial, which honours fallen members of all of Victoria's emergency services organisations.

The Treasury Gardens are a popular venue for weddings, community events and rallies.
