As with most all Melbourne-related articles: Park, Melbourne. Category can be Category:Melbourne parks and gardens.

[edit] Templates

• A possible navigation footer to connect all the most important places, with a link to a List of parks and gardens in Melbourne article if there are enough to merit it.

• A possible infobox including, among other things, a map, location info, governing body (e.g. Parks Victoria), facilities, year founded, et cetera.
