Information
Cockington Green Gardens offers its visitors an experience you will not find anywhere else. Venture into this delightful and fascinating display of meticulously crafted miniature buildings set within beautifully landscaped gardens to make your Canberra visit complete.
Opened to the public in 1979, Cockington Green is one of Canberra’s landmark attractions, being a winner of an Australian Tourism Award and many local tourism industry awards in this time.
The park is constantly growing with the popular addition of the International display area, which complements the original English Village and its beautifully established gardens.

History
The idea for the MULTI award–winning Cockington Green was born in 1972. Upon visiting miniature villiages while on an extended family holiday in the UK, founders Doug and Brenda Sarah returned to Australia inspired and undertook a feasibility study to developing a villiage of their own. Eighteen months later, they invited other family members to participate in the project, and the rest is history.
