Haig Park

Haig Park is a 19-hectare heritage-listed public park spanning the suburbs of Braddon and Turner in central Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. Planted in 1921 as a windbreak and shelter belt for the early capital, it is named after Field Marshal Earl Haig. The park is notable for its formal plantation of 14 rows of trees, predominantly exotic species, and its distinctive linear layout along Northbourne Avenue near the city centre.

Visitors can expect a long, linear urban park with formal rows of mature trees, open grassy areas and intersecting walking and cycling paths. The park is divided by Northbourne Avenue and bordered by residential and commercial areas of Braddon and Turner. It offers shaded avenues, picnic and barbecue spots, a playground, and open lawns used for informal recreation, community markets and events. The setting is calm and green within the inner city, suitable for strolling, cycling and relaxing.
