Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Henry Rolland Park sits on Barrine Drive at Parkes, by Lake Burley Griffin in central Canberra. A strong 4.7 rating from 71 reviews reflects its standing as a much-loved green space.
The appeal is a beautiful lakeside setting — a lovely park on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin, a genuine favourite for a walk, a picnic or simply relaxing by the water, close to the city and Commonwealth Bridge. It's a lovely, free spot.
Parks and lakeshore spots have changing facilities and seasonal conditions, so check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a free, family-friendly spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and take your time by the lake.
