A Sunset Jog Through Royal Park

Overview

Melbourne's Royal Park is an oasis of green space nestled blissfully close to the CBD. With a tradition of relaxation and sport since it opened in the 1850s, the stretch of parkland forms the perfect antidote to all that city hustle and bustle with 170 hectares, plenty of wildlife and fresh air galore. Knockoff on time, stick a few of your favourite tunes in your ears and watch the sunset work its magic while you run some heart-pumping kilometres along Royal Park's winding, tree-lined running tracks. Trust us, you'll be reaping the benefits all week long.
