RMIT A’Beckett Urban Square
A 2,800 square metre pop-up park replete with basketball courts, table tennis, barbecues, WiFi and plenty of room to sit and relax? Sounds like a recipe for an excellent urban picnic. What was once a lacklustre car park is now squarely in the public domain, and it’s quickly become a favourite meeting place for students and city dwellers alike.
Get your snacks from: Once again, you’re right by Queen Victoria Market, but you’re also by some of Melbourne’s favourite cheap eats. Drop by modern Indonesian restaurant Kata Kita for colourful nasi campur, Jojo Little Kitchen for Malaysian pan mee noodles, or regional Chinese sensation Biang Biang for cold noodles and a roujiamo – Shaanxi’s ancient pulled pork sandwich.
