Birrarung Marr is an urban park on the north bank of the Yarra River, next to Federation Square. Opened in 2002, it was created as a place for the community and to celebrate public activities, major events, and festivals.
The park’s name comes from the language of the Wurundjeri people who originally inhabited the area - ‘birrarung’ means ‘river of mists’ and ‘marr’ relates to ‘side’.
