Overview

Old Parliament House Gardens offer a pleasant, rose filled place to pause in the heart of the Parliamentary Zone. Located on either side of Old Parliament House are the House of Representatives Garden and Senate Garden.

The roses in this garden were planted during the Great Depression. When parliament moved, the gardens were opened to the public. They were restored in 2004 to their current beauty.

The Old Parliament House Gardens are available for public and corporate functions. Call the National Capital Authority for garden-related enquiries.

Email Tennis Canberra for tennis court bookings.

“Old Parliament House Gardens”

TripAdvisor ratingReviewed 1mo ago by FrostyRemo

The gardens are often overlooked but well worth a visit. Featuring a historic precinct with a recently unveiled statue of the late Senator Susan Ryan, the Wisteria is amazing too.
