Queens Park

Queens Park is a picturesque park, just a short walk from Toowoomba's Central Business District. The park's uses are diverse and facilities make it a great meeting place or a pleasant stop.

The north-eastern part of the park boasts an immaculately tended floral garden. The south-eastern and north-western corners provide large expanses of grass for sports, with the addition of a special swing for disabled children. The south section of the park features modern children's play equipment.

The park is also a focus for many community activities. The sweeping expanse of grassed area makes an ideal venue for events, including monthly markets on Sunday, the Carnival of Flowers parade end and side-show alley in September and the Gospel Music Festival at Easter.

The Park covering 26.3 hectares, was planned and developed by superintendent of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens. The many trees were imported from Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world
