Fairfield Park

20 Brougham Street

Nelson

Located in Nelson with access from Brougham, Trafalgar and Van Diemen Streets.

Take a pleasant stroll through Fairfield Park, formerly one of Nelson’s first cemeteries created in 1851.

The park has a number of heritage trees and more recent plantings of camellia groves.

The Park closed for burials in 1910 and this walk highlights some early settlers graves with legible gravestones as well as later memorials added to the Park. Council’s cemeteries database lists all persons originally buried here. For more information about the gravies, visit the Prow website.
