Yarra Park [35.469 hectares] is part of the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Precinct – the premier sporting precinct of Victoria. Located in Yarra Park is the Melbourne Cricket Ground and numerous sporting fields and ovals, including the associated sporting complexes of Melbourne & Olympic Parks. The park and sporting facilities are located in the inner-suburb of East Melbourne. In September 2009, the State Government, with Liberal backing, gave control of the park to the Melbourne Cricket Club and approved carparking. This usage causes degradation. The YPG seeks to arrest this.
