Commonwealth Park

Commonwealth Park is a large urban park on the northern shore of Lake Burley Griffin in central Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. Developed in the 1960s as part of Walter Burley Griffin's plan for the capital, it covers 34 hectares of landscaped gardens, lawns and woodlands. It is best known as the venue for Floriade, Australia's largest spring flower festival, and offers lake views, walking paths and event spaces.

Visitors can expect extensive landscaped parkland along Lake Burley Griffin with open lawns, ornamental gardens, mature trees, and paved walking and cycling paths. The park includes features such as Stage 88 outdoor amphitheatre, Nerang Pool, Regatta Point, sculptures and memorials, and views across the lake to the National Library, Parliament House and Black Mountain. Areas are available for picnics, leisurely walks, photography and attending seasonal events.
