Why it's worth checking out
Lennox Gardens sits on Flynn Drive at Yarralumla, on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra. A lovely lakeside park, it's a much-loved green space — combining manicured lawns, gardens and walking paths with a beautiful lake setting, lovely views and the serene Canberra Nara Peace Park (a Japanese-style garden) nearby.
The appeal is that combination of beautiful gardens, a tranquil lakeside setting and lovely views: room to stroll, picnic and relax by the water, with the lake right there, the gardens to enjoy and the peaceful Japanese garden adding to the charm. It's a serene, scenic spot that makes the most of its lovely position on Lake Burley Griffin, popular for a relaxing walk or some quiet time outdoors.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 700 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The gardens are free and open year-round, but facilities and any seasonal displays vary, so it's worth checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a stroll, a picnic or some quiet time by the lake, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Lennox Gardens at Yarralumla.
