Waring Gardens

Waring Gardens on Cressy Street is a delightful picnic area where you can feed the ducks, let the kids run around in the enclosed children's playground or just sit back under the shade of a giant Moreton Bay fig. 

It is directly opposite one of Deni's best shopping strips. 

Waring Gardens is also the site for the cenotaph and Vietnam Veterans memorial statue, highlighting the contributions that community members have made.

The widely acclaimed Waring Gardens, a feature of the CBD, are named after the town's first Town Clerk, John Waring. Established in 1888 the area was set up largely as a Botanic Garden testing a number of trees and shrubs for their suitability for Deniliquin climate and soil type. A band rotunda and a fountain within a creeper covered rotunda were erected in 1891.

The lagoon system running throughout the town centre is a feature of the gardens which is enhanced by a footbridge. On the corner of Edwardes & Cressy Streets stand the marble sculptures known as the Three Muses, representing Art, Science and Literature. They were made in Italy from the best Sicilian marble and originally were a feature of the old School of Arts building. They were relocated to their present position in 1997 after a 12 month restoration.
