Cheap parking spaces in Kensington for rent

Considered to be one of Melbourne’s inner suburbs, Kensington is about 4 kilometres out of the city and is home to many different architecture styles and its tree-lined streets. It’s had an industrial history, however since their ceasing of operation, Kensington has undergone drastic urban renewal and gentrification turning it into the suburb it is today.

The parks around Kensington are quite delightful, the Women’s Peace Garden in particular being a great place to walk. It was originally used as a saleyard for Newmarket but the idea to make it a garden and park evolved from the International Year of Peace in 1986. A year later, the garden was born. The garden also features the universal sign for peace that has been laid in bluestone and flora of green, purple and white hues to represent the colours of the women’s movement. Dogs are allowed in the garden so you and your pets can take a stroll through history.

Parking in Kensington

There is always street parking and free car parks that you can find around the area of Kensington. However in recent years, many of these places are starting to become restricted to permit holders, and even ‘No Parking’ zones which locals and residents are a little perplexed and irked about. Both visitors and locals can utilise Parkhound and the many hosts that have listed their personal garages and driveways on the platform for you and drivers to rent.
