Special Event Outdoor Venues

The parkland surrounding the Royal Botanic Gardens is known as the Domain, comprised of a number of precincts - including the Tarpeian Precinct, Yurong Precinct and Phillip Precinct. These outdoor venues are ideal for concerts, sports and cultural events. Public transport and a variety of parking stations are conveniently located nearby. A true heritage area of great cultural significance, the Domain is a living link with the beginnings of European settlement in Australia. It is known as 'the People’s Domain; the park where the gates never close' and extends around the Royal Botanic Gardens from Mrs Macquaries Point to Tarpeian Way, just south of the Opera House'.
