Yarra Park

City of Melbourne, Australia

Yarra Park is a 35-hectare (86-acre) public park that is part of the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Precinct, a sporting precinct in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Located in the inner-city suburb of East Melbourne, the park contains the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Punt Road Oval, and several other sporting fields and ovals, the National Sports Museum, an active playground for children, and many tree-lined paths that criss-cross the park. Located adjacent to Yarra Park are the associated sporting complexes of Melbourne and Olympic Parks, separated by roadways and a rail corridor. In the late 1850s, many of the earliest games of Australian rules football were played in the park, which was known at the time as the Richmond Paddock.
