On its 150th anniversary, the City of Port Phillip provided funds for redesigning and reconstructing the garden. During this phase, four distinctive new gates were installed; designed by David Wood, a famous blacksmith of the city.

The park features the Alister Clark Memorial Rose Garden; featuring a wide selection of native roses. Adjoining the sub-tropical rainforest conservatory, you’ll find the ornamental pond that was refurbished and repaired – featuring an exquisite fountain known as the “Rain Man Fountain”.
