Well designed, open green space at the heart of Potts Point, Fitzroy Gardens is a great place to visit. It’s made up of several different areas, including a cool fountain, a lower area with some benches, and an upper area with a small section of turf and more seating. It’s surrounded by a variety of restaurants and just down the road from the train station.

Although this isn’t a place I would travel to just to visit, it’s a great spot to read a book, eat lunch, or meet friends if you’re in the neighborhood.

Wow, 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I almost missed this secluded garden on my walk from Rushcutters Bay to Rose Bay, but I’m glad I stopped by. It’s a beautiful, enclosed, multi-tiered (Italian style?) garden with a mix of Mediterranean and more tropical plantings. Although it’s right next to the main road, it feels like a world away. Once you walk into the garden, there’s a sense of tranquility and peace that’s hard to explain. It’s made up of a few different areas, each with its own design and aesthetic, and you really don’t know what to expect when you enter into a different section.

There’s an entrance ramp off the main road, which makes it wheelchair accessible, and the gardens descend to a path that leads to Murray Rose Pool (also worth checking out) and a cafe.

One recommendation would be to have more benches, as this is definitely a place I can see myself bringing a book to read or just sitting and relaxing.

Highly recommend! I would even go so far as to say this is a place you should travel to see in and of itself, even if you’re not in the neighborhood.
