Gardens and natural reserves

Our natural reserves include parkland, bushland, lakes, and creeks. Visit a natural reserve and enjoy Bendigo's native flora and fauna. They are great places for a picnic, bush walk or bike ride.

We also have many beautiful and diverse public gardens for you to enjoy. Many are historic and include relics, historic plantings and significant trees.

They are great places to enjoy a wide range of activities such as having a picnic, a bbq, exercising or relaxing in a green outdoor space.
