How to get there Tram
One step into these gardens on a warm day and you will want to join the fun. But first, pick up some supplies from Piedimonte's Supermarket & Liquor across the road because alcohol consumption is allowed between 9AM and 9PM. A great spot is somewhere between the skate park and the BBQs, or if you are feeling sporty you could watch some footy/cricket depending on the sessions. Alfred Cres, Fitzroy North
Piedimonte’s Supermarket
The Piedimonte family originally from Sicily, has been involved in Australia's grocery business since 1958, and now their Fitzroy North Supermarket holds a special place in the hearts of locals. The community spirit is clear and you can find any ingredient you need inside these walls, plus the bottle shop is a great place to stop before you hit Edinburgh Gardens for a little party in da park.

Public wine bar
Campbell Burton and Charlotte Ryan opened Public Wines Bar in November 2020 and their inspiration for the shop was born out of a love of well-farmed and delicious food and wine they have experienced while traveling. Now they bring all that love to their shop on St Georges Road. Think natural wines with a snack and extended menus. The food has a French influence with pate, cheese, and fish tings featuring prominently. Shop now | Instagram | 179 St Georges Rd, Fitzroy North
