Royal Park is the largest of Melbourne's inner city parks with an total area coverage of 1.81 kilometres squaded.
This park was first recognised and instituted in 1984 by the Melbourne City Council, the park has undergone many changes before and since its institution.
Such as in 1860, where it was the starting point of the Burke and Wills expedition to the Gulf of Carpentaria, which ended horribly with the deaths of both of them.
During the First World war, the park served as a military camp and training. The park would become host to US troops during the Second World War prior to their deployment in the Pacific War campaigns.
However, in 1984 that was when it was instituted as a park and redesigned with the idea of creating wide open spaces with open grass fields, eucalupt forests, sport grounds, gardens and wetlands

Some of the activies that on offer throughout the park are:

• Various footpaths and trails that visitors can walk,run or cycle through and watch out for the wildlife, with a lot of birdlife gathering around the water features of the park.
• The ability to enjoy a meal outdoors with friends and family using the picnic and barbecue facilities.
• Explore the Australian Native Garden that was designed by the Australian lansacpe architect Grace Fraser in 1977.
• Play a range of different sports within the many different sporting facilities and grounds, including the Royal Park Golf Course and the Melbourne Sports Centre.
• There is places for the kids to play and have fun in the nature playground, with a sandpit water play area many rocks and ropes to climb, swings and hills.
• Enjoy birdwatching at the Trin Warren Tam-boore wetlands, the wetlands also have a self-guided nature walk.
• There is also places for people to let there dog run around in designated off-lesh areas.

Note: My personal interest that I will outlining throughout the entire Field Guide is the emerging techniques and technologies that the wider community and the park attendants
will be implementing to preserve the future of the park, Most of which are outlined in the Royal Park Master Plan
