Chess park venue in Melbourne, Australia
Two permanent chessboards set into the forecourt of State Library Victoria on Swanston Street, at the top of the steps, since June 2025. The white squares are granite and the black ones bluestone. Outdoor chess sets are available from the library between 10am and 5pm, so come in those hours or bring your own pieces. There's no cover from the weather.
