Less busy and more beautiful than Edinburgh Gardens - This used to my local park and is still a favourite. Perfect for a romantic glass of wine and cheese or just hanging out with friends for a picnic. And right next door to the musuem and the world heritage listed Exhibition Building. If you have little ones the play park is always a good option. When your done there head to Grub for a coffee or Rooks Return for a cocktail!
