Trees and Yarra River at Batman Park.

Batman Park

On the Yarra’s northern bank, bordered by Spencer, Flinders and King streets, Batman Park name checks one of Melbourne’s founding fathers, John Batman.

Planted with eucalypts, the park was established in 1982 on the site of a disused freight train rail yard. Enterprize Park and the Melbourne Aquarium have since been added as neighbours.
