Gordon Reserve is a small triangular park between Spring Street and Macarthur Street near the government buildings in East Melbourne. It is named after the colonial poet, Adam Lindsey Gordon, who only become celebrated after his death. Features of the reserve include a memorial statue of Adam Lindsey Gordon in one corner, a memorial statue of Major Charles George Gordon in another corner, a memorial plaque installed in 1961 to commemorate the finish of laying a coaxial cable between Sydney and Melbourne in the third corner, and the Gordon Fountain in the centre of the reserve. Another less obvious feature of the reserve is the underground women's toilets, which are located near Spring Street. Gordon Reserve also features a number of Canary Island date palms.

Small grassy reserve on the edge of the Melbourne CBD containing a couple of palm trees and a statue of the poet Adam Lindsay Gordon, who spent the latter part of his short life in Melbourne before he shot himself at nearby Brighton Beach at the age of 36. Close to transport, food and drink options.

Although it’s a very small area, it feels so relaxing to be able to sit and hear the sound of the water feature.

It's was great seeing the school kids strike for climate change :)

Tiny, but good amount of seating more than makes up for that.

Good place to take a break and unwind from hustles of the CBD

It's a cool spot to chat with friends and watch the pigeons.

Peaceful spot to chill in the middle of an intersection

I like the fountain and the way it's lit.
