Why it's worth checking out
Commonwealth Park sits on Commonwealth Avenue by Lake Burley Griffin, in the heart of Canberra. With 648 reviews behind its 4.6 rating, it's a much-loved green space.
The appeal is a beautiful lakeside park — open lawns, gardens, walking paths and lovely lake views, perfect for a picnic, a stroll, a play or simply relaxing by the water. It's a genuine highlight of the capital, home to events like Floriade, and a peaceful escape close to the city and the national institutions.
Parks have changing facilities, seasonal displays and event closures, so check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection and water, and take your time.
