The Coles Fountain is a notable public art installation that adds a serene and visually striking element to this historic area of the city. Situated near the intersection of Spring and Nicholson Streets, just across from the iconic Parliament House, the fountain was a gift to the city from the Coles family in the 1980s.
The fountain features a series of vertical stainless-steel pipes arranged in a circular formation, with water cascading down in thin, graceful streams. This design creates a delicate curtain of water, offering a soothing sound and a reflective surface that enhances the peaceful ambiance of the surrounding gardens. The Parliament Gardens themselves are a small but lush green space, providing a quiet retreat amidst the hustle and bustle of central Melbourne.
The Coles Fountain is a popular spot for both locals and visitors to relax, enjoy the tranquility of the gardens, and appreciate the juxtaposition of modern art with the historical architecture of the nearby Parliament House. It’s a fine example of how contemporary design can complement and enhance the urban landscape, making it a cherished feature of Melbourne's cityscape.

Eine willkommene Abkühlung an heißen Tagen. Die Kinder freut es auch.

Pretty cool fountain, donated by GJ Coles and Coy. Limited (yes, founder of Coles Group which includes the supermarkets). It's a C shaped fountain that you can walk into, and experience the water falling around you. The fountain, cleverly placed in the centre of the garden, acts as muffler to the surrounding city traffic, providing a peaceful atmosphere within the beautiful garden.

This is my favourite fountain in Melbourne. You'll often see people playing under it getting drenched in a hot day. Within the grounds of the parliamentary gardens its really accessible to everyone.
