Starting our journey at Great Western Road, we have a choice of entering the Gardens either down the red spiral staircase or at the first entrance into the Gardens from Elkstone Road. This grassy end of the Gardens is surrounded by trees and shrubs and overlooked by the Carlton Bridge. It is a popular site for sunbathers and people who like to sit and relax on the grass.

During the summer months this area is transformed into a hive of activity and colour when it becomes our festival site. The free festivals are extremely popular events for local people to visit and enjoy the activities, and also a great opportunity to get involved. Many local residents have either performed on stage, or had a stall selling their crafts or food, or helped as a steward. The festival site ends at the skatebowl.

The above text is to be updated once the MGCA Virtual Walk pages are finished. Thank you for your patience!
