Princes Park is a 38.6 hectare (95.4 acre) park in the inner-Melbourne suburb of Carlton North, Victoria. It is located directly north of the University of Melbourne and bounded on its eastern and western sides by Melbourne General Cemetery and Royal Parade respectively. Although the park consists of a number of Australian rules football ovals, the bowling green of the Princes Park Carlton Bowls Club Bowls, and a small stretch of parkland, it is best known as the location of MC Labour Park, the old Princes Park Football Ground, the home of the Carlton Football Club. The park also contains a children’s playground; the ‘Within Three Worlds’ sculpture; a barbecue and picnic facilities.〔(City of Melbourne 2013, Parks & Gardens, 'Princes Park' )〕 The Capital City Trail passes through the northern section of the park, following the path of the now-closed Inner Circle railway line.〔''Bike rides around Melbourne'' 3rd edition, 2009, Julia Blunden, Open Spaces Publishing, ISBN 978-0-9752333-4-4〕 In January 2006 and 2007 Big Day Out (a popular Australasian music festival) was held at Princes Park on the ovals at the park's southern end. The event's traditional venue, the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds was unavailable due to redevelopment. It is 3.2 kilometres to travel the dirt track around the park. ==External links== * (Satellite photo of Princes Park ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Princes Park, Carlton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
