Middle Park is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Port Phillip. It is located between Port Phillip Bay and Albert Park Lake which is within Albert Park Reserve (a massive state park).
Middle Park, and its environs, is one of the trendiest suburbs (circa 1900) within the City of Port Phillip, with much of the housing dating from late Victorian, Federation and Edwardian eras. Located some 5 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, Middle Park is a highly desirable suburb to live in and where an average period house and land can fetch $1.5 million (2006). While there are some flats most homes are single fronted (1/16th of an acre) and double fronted (1/8th of an acre) single and double storey terrace houses; many with rear "blue stone" cobbled lane vehicle access. Many streets are very wide which allows for 90 degree car parking space outside the houses. Unemployment is very low at about 3% (2006), crime is minimal, its citizens have a good work ethic and are very friendly too. Many residents walk or cycle, along the flat streets, to do their shopping or socialising. All local christian churches in Middle Park have closed except for the Carmelite Roman Catholic Church. There are no other religious buildings in Middle Park however the Hare Krishna Temple, Albert Park Baptist Church and Albert Park Anglican Church are nearby. Middle Park Primary School is well attended (404 students in 2006) while Albert Park Secondary College (206 students) is looking for more students and is just 800 metres away. Mac.Robertson Girls' High School and a number of non government Private Secondary Schools are located in nearly suburbs. There is a charming local shopping centre, with 10 cafes/food stores, a modern IGA supermarket, retro fitted hotel with dining plus a backpackers upstairs and many cool speciality shops, in Armstrong St, Middle Park, next to the Middle Park light rail station, plus some other shops in Mills St, near Wright St light rail stop. Middle Park has one B&B which is located near Fraser St light rail stop. The No 96 light rail (a tram on train tracks) can get you to the Melbourne CBD in 15 minutes and St Kilda in 5 minutes. The slower No 112 roadway tram passes through Middle Park, via Mills St, to the CBD and St Kilda too. You can also walk to the CBD in 30 minutes, mostly through park land, and St Kilda in 10 minutes. Middle Park is near busy through roads but it is still a quiet oasis near to the heart of Melbourne, with Middle Park beach 200 metres to the west, Albert Park Reserve (a state park) 200 metres to the east, St Kilda 1 kilometre to the south and Albert Park (suburb) 1 kilometre to the north.
