A granite and marble memorial, commissioned by public subscription from sculptor James White and positioned at the highest point of the gardens, commemorates five aspects of Queen Victoria.
The memorial is of white Carrara marble, Harcourt granite and NSW Caloola marble, and was unveiled by Sir John Madden on Empire Day, 24 May 1907.

Originally home to native grasses, she-oaks, wattles, paperbarks, and river red gums, the area now consists of ornamental lakes, sweeping lawns, flowerbeds of annuals, and mature European and Australian trees and shrubs in a landscaped garden.

As well as the monuments to Queen Victoria and King Edward VII, the gardens are notable for their array of sculptures.
These include an exploratory play sculpture for children, The Genie,  by Tom Bass in 1973.
The Pathfinder was manufactured in 1974 by John Robinson and details a bronze Olympic Hammer thrower in action.
The Phoenix was sculptored from cast bronze and welded copper sheet by Baroness Yrsa Von Heistner in 1973 to commemorate the 40th International Eucharistic Congress.
The Bronze Water Children is an installation by John Robinson, made in 1973, which shows playing children at the top of a stream.
The Water Nymph is a kneeling bronze figure sculptored in 1925 by Paul Montford, modelled on Eileen Lillian Prescott.

A classic rotunda was built in 1913 and named after Janet, Lady Clarke, a philanthropist who worked for the welfare of women in Melbourne.
