Alexandra Gardens Park

This is a good one, free outdoor swimming pool with changing facilities and couple of electric bbq. Small lake, slides for kids to play with many other options. There is a prison next to it, so don’t forget to walk up. Dedicated fern park, which needs more maintenance but still a pleasant experience.

Beautiful, clean space. Great for kids.

These gardens are very pretty. The orchid house is in full display and the flower scents fill your nose as you walk in the doors. The lake is full and there are many water birds. The cafe is a real bonus. Such a variety in the menu and very reasonable prices. The gardens are a short walk from town or there's plenty of parking. We love it.

Alexandra Gardens is a spectacular park in Ararat, Victoria with a lot to offer. An incredible multi level walk-in fernery slopes down toward the terraced lawns and ornamental lake. An 800m pram/wheelchair-friendly walking track makes its way around the lake, across pretty bridges and through the Japanese themed islands. Close to the fernery lies a fantastic playground with lots of unique play equipment, toddler play space and shade sails.

Alexandra Gardens are worth visiting for the walk-in fernery alone. Sealed, narrow walking tracks wind their way through the beautiful ferns, vines, stones and water features. There are many different tracks, turns, steps and corridors to explore within a fairly compact area. See if you can find the stone-lined cave hidden amongst the impressive array of plants. This fernery will make you feel as though you have stepped right into a rainforest, and is a credit to the town of Ararat.

A beuatiful and lish gardens and playground. We stop here on our way through to Adelaide every year, and on other holidays that take us out west. We highly recommend stopping here and expericing these gardens with kids.

It is an amazing place to chill out. Water bodies are awesome over there. Very neat and clean park it is. There is also an Orchid which you can visit. Spacious car park is available. It is very good place for having good weekends. 😊😊

Perfect place to spend an hour or two, or pitstop to stretch the legs on a road trip. Off leash dog Park immediately opposite along with a skate park

Beautiful gardens, some of the best I have been to. So well layed out, it was a pleasure to walk around.

A great place to relax or meet friends...Beautiful sights along the way, either you walk a jog, jog yourself or watch people with a coffee.

Lovely gardens to walk through, with lots of different aspects and elements for interest.

Great playground! The cafe sells duck food :) fully enclosed.

It's such a lovely lake & garden Ararat you are so lucky to have such a beautiful park. The on-site Cafe, which is just past the 'playground', have lovely coffee and serve light lunches & snacks making it a perfect spot to stop on way through town to Melbourne or Adelaide. It also has a 'pool' too if you feel like a dip. Absolutely Beautiful ❤ skip Maccas & check out the gardens.

Great little park. Plenty of birds in the pond. Public BBQ. Plenty of benches. Good clean public toilets

Such a nice park near the middle of town. Great place to sit and relax or go for a welk

Great place to stroll around the lake and view the water birds and breathe in the fresh air. Gardens and pathways are well kept..great to keep under the tree canopy on a hot day, or out in the sunshine when the temps are cooler. Very relaxing and plenty of placed to just sit and take in the views. Enjoyed by our fur babies too...plenty of dogs taken on walks with a variety of posts with 'disposable bags' for cleanup of your animals poop. Definitely worth a visit.

Good for short walk .
Kids will enjoy this space .

Good place for picnic, coffee and toilet. All good

Awsome place for a quick stop and refreshment while driving between Adelide and Melbourne.

Gardens are great but the cafe has good food but make sure u have at least 1 to
1.5 hours to get your lunch meal when only 4 tables had people setting waiting

A great play area for young children and the swimming pool as well
