Princes Park is a large urban park that covers 38.6 hectares and includes open lawns, sports fields, and recreational areas. It's well-known for being the home of Ikon Park, where the Carlton Football Club is based. There is a playground, picnic spots, and a popular 3.18-kilometre running track that circles the area. Established in 1873 and named after Prince Albert, Princes Park is an essential part of Melbourne’s inner-city green spaces and is a great place for organised sports as well as everyday relaxation and fun.
