Fawkner Park is a popular park in Melbourne's South Yarra and part of the City of Melbourne. It provides for teams playing Cricket, Soccer, Australian rules football, Tennis and Rugby.

The park was created in 1862, named after Melbourne co-founder John Pascoe Fawkner. It is trapezoidal in shape with an area of 41 hectares (101 acres), gently sloping towards a flat, and was originally used for over seven different activities at one time, in sections specified for the purpose. It was also commonly used for walks and promenading. The layout of today remains similar to that of over 100 years ago, with pathways cutting through the park, edged with elm, oak and Moreton Bay Figs.
