Parks, Playgrounds & Trees
Catani Gardens
The original 1910 Lava Rock wall encloses the park on the west boundary, extending from the edge of the gardens along the southwest boundary to the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron. It incorporates a number of openings into the gardens and onto Pier Road for access to the beach below.
Several memorials sit within the park including the Sali Cleve - a drinking fountain installed in 1911 in memoriam of Sali, who designed Cleve gardens opposite Catani gardens between Beaconsfield Parade and Fitzroy Street. A sculpture of Caption James Cook, was installed in 1914 and a cenotaph built in 1925 in memoriam to the fallen soldiers of World War One.
