Dolphin Fountain — Garden Design in East Melbourne, VIC

This fountain shows dolphins jumping out of the water. It looks really nice and playful. Kids and adults both enjoy watching it. You can take photos or just sit nearby and relax. The area around the fountain is calm, and it feels like a little escape in the city. A simple but lovely spot to visit.

Hidden deep in the gardens is this whimsical Krongold Dolphin Fountain. It consists of a cairn of granite boulders adorned with an assortment of sea creatures including dolphins, seahorses, turtles, crabs, octopus and starfish. The Fountain is in a beautiful setting within the Fitzroy Gardens and is very popular with bridal parties., commonly seen in this part of the gardens with their photographers.

It's not a very elegant fountain as such, but it does have an element of serenity to it. Placed right next to many mature trees, the design allows you to also have a sit down in shade. My toddler enjoyed going up and down the steps over and over by himself (the height of each steps are great for toddlers), gaining confidence everytime he repeated, then he upgraded to include climbing the natural seating area as he went round climbing up and down the steps. We also incorporated learning about the different animals sculpted on the rocks and counted them. It's placed right next to the mound and pond which naturally ties together and makes for nice little walk and 'hike' for the toddler, and a beautiful picnic area with more running water and ducks.

Dolphin fountain itself was un looked after and didnt have any running water at time of our visit midday on a Tuesday. The surrounding pond had a few fountains and baby ducklings at this time of year. Would be a cool climbing area for kids trying to spot all the animals when there is no water.

Dolphin Fountain is the perfect tranquil setting for a romantic and relaxed ceremony. A private location in a public space, Dolphin Fountain in Fitzroy Gardens is easy to access and has lots of parking options. A hidden gem in the city. Love, Wild Romantic Photography
