Princes Park

Highlight • Rest Area

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.

The Princes Park Circuit is a popular, shared running and walking loop that follows the perimeter of Princes Park in Carlton North. The sealed path measures about 3.2 kilometres and is widely used for jogging, cycling, and casual strolls thanks to its flat, accessible layout. Passing lawns, sports fields and tree-lined edges, it’s one of Melbourne’s most well-known inner-city exercise routes.
