Princes Park is a major sports and recreation ground offering a diverse range of activities in Carlton North. The Carlton Football Club, Carlton Cricket Club, Carlton Bowls Club and many other clubs make use of the beautiful public space.

Other features include the Carlton Recreation Ground's football stadium (Ikon Park), a children's playground, the ‘Within Three Worlds’ sculpture, and barbecue and picnic facilities.

Lovely walking paths can be found along avenues of elm and Moreton Bay fig trees, and views from the southern part of the park take in the city skyline, and the Melbourne General Cemetery.
