Garrington Park

Locals from New Town know this one well — it’s a reliable patch of green that doesn’t try to be more than it is, and honestly that’s fine. The accessible layout makes it easy for everyone to move around comfortably, which you don’t always get in older urban parks. It sits close to John Turnbull Oval and Lenah Valley Childcare, so it naturally draws a community crowd throughout the week. Nothing flashy, just a decent spot to stretch your legs or take five minutes away from the noise of the street.
