St Davids Park reviews
55A good place to stay connected with nature in the middle of the city. Good place to relax and have a picnic.
Memorial Park commemorates colonial history first fleeters, early Hobart citizens & government officials in tombs, and a pathway made with gravestones.
Tall trees, lush green grass spattered with white clover & busy bees. Birds sing in the trees. Tranquility here.
Clean Public toilets
Good park next to Salamanca Place. Formerly Hobart's graveyard. Interesting monuments to former governors and leading citizens. Headstones of others relocated to walls around the Supreme Court. Most bodies still in ground, only about 100 relocated to new cemetery. Across the road was St Mary's hospital, now a cocktail bar.
A lovely, well maintained park. The history of it is fascinating - initially being the original Hobart cemetery.
Lovely Park on the edge of the CBD. While fairly small it contains memorials that have been erected to some of Hobart's and Tasmanias early administrators. One one side of the park early grave headstones have been preserved on walls and make for interesting reading. Some date from the earliest years of settlement and whether they were on the first fleet.
The park is very walkable and in a great location. I highly recommend it if you're in the Hobart CBD.
Beautiful park with a bizarre history. Check the headstones around the walls of parliament house
A beautiful park with some awesome old trees and some headstones with history. Well worth a slow stroll through this park.
This is a beautiful sanctuary from the city. Glorious trees and lovely green grass are most inviting. There are sandstone headstone s of very early settlers of Hobart mounted in a number of walls at the lower end of the park. Two of these are my ancestors.
Best park for beers and sun. Watch out your sitting on the dead bodies of the colonial people of yore
St Davids Park is a must visit for everyine.one of Australia most Historical sites. We in Tasmania should have a organised visiting date as its full of history and suffering in the events to make this once Penel Colony Into todays most must visit capital.we need to have a Fair Dinkum Aussies day as this is really where we started making us a great nation. Stan wilkinson APOLITICAL also inexpensive to visit and stay. Come on Australians bring your family and friends Hobart etc not to be missed
A lovely park must visit if new in Hobart, it's on the way from Hotel to Salamanca Markets. I'm glad that I found it on the first day in Hobart. It's tranquil and beautifully designed. Pleasant to stroll around.
It's a nice place, quiet, and chill, the bathrooms reeked of weed, so 4 stars, but that's the only issue
Absolute must see in Hobart! Beautiful park near Salamanca Markets that used to be a cemetery. The old grave stones have been reset into a wall of remembrance. Lovely gardens.
I love St David's Park more than any other park in Hobart; large, in the middle of town and beautiful. Set in almost a natural amphitheatre with a striking heritage rotunda as its focal-point this space is always lush and green and calming and has plenty of shady areas to relax.
Quaint and beautiful park on the perimeter of the Salamanca Markets. A great place to have a lie on the grass and enjoy the fresh air.
It's such a huge space that I've never yet felt like I was encroaching on anyone else's space. Grab a bite to eat (maybe some fish and chips from the pier?) and enjoy a lazy summer evening in a picturesque corner of town.
BEST park in Hobart, Tasmania & the entire DownUnder. The perfect place for picnic, for chilling out & for meditation, yoga exercise & practising taichi. Love the sculptures & structures, so wonderfully made & of such rich historical value especially the beautiful rotunda. It’s also adjacent to the famous Salamanca Market & a stone’s throw away from King’s Pier Marina. I highly recommend anyone & everyone to visit whether you come alone or with loved ones, friends, colleagues, customers & visitors.
A beautiful place to take a walk, have a picnic or take a break from the busy Salamanca market on a Saturday. It can get quite busy during the weekend, and sometime there is live music. Dogs are allowed in the park on lead, but not in the Salamanca market. The park itself is relatively small and has toilet facilities.
