Glebe Park

  • Attractions
  • Glebe Park
Head out into the fresh air and enjoy some green space right in the centre of the city. Take a picnic or go for a walk and enjoy a diverse selection of flora.

Like the rest of Canberra, Glebe Park was designed to transform with the four distinct seasons. In the summer the English elms provide welcome shade, in autumn they glow like molten gold.

Glebe Park offers a playground, sculptures, artwork and irrigated grass so you can enjoy feeling the earth beneath your feet.

A stage and gazebo are also available for bookings.

“Historical location”

Reviewed on 17/11/2019

Well maintained park with lots of history. This park was a grant to the church back in the mid 1800. Worth a visit.

“Large green public park just behind Civic with a significant number of English elms and oaks.”

Reviewed on 21/04/2019

The area of Glebe Park is approximately 4.7 hectares, somewhat less than the 40 hectares that were originally allocated by Robert Campbell to the Anglican Church back in the early 1840's.
