King Edward Park
A clifftop park established in 1863, with a Victorian bandstand and a sunken garden facing the sea, directly above Bogey Hole.
King Edward Park is one of Newcastle's oldest public reserves, sitting on a clifftop with grassy slopes running down to the Pacific. The park features an 1898 Victorian bandstand, a sunken rose garden, and the Scratchley family memorial fountain, which is a popular spot for wedding photos. The obelisk on the hilltop above the park offers views over the whole city and harbor. Steps below lead down to Bogey Hole, and the start of the Memorial Walk is nearby. Entry is free, and the park has parking and public barbecues.
