Queens Park and Botanic Gardens
Location: 43 Lindsay St, East Toowoomba
A stroll through the State Heritage listed Queens Park and Botanic Gardens is an absolute must for any visitor to the Garden City.
Covering more than 25 picturesque hectares, the parkland has been enjoyed by generations of locals and regional visitors since it first opened to the public in the late 1800s.
As one of the featured parks during Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers in September, spring sees the garden beds taken over by riotous colour and visited by thousands of tourists.
Autumn transforms the landscape into a rich tapestry of red and gold with the giant deciduous trees dropping their leaves in anticipation of winter when the parklands rest against a predominantly evergreen backdrop.
A kid’s paradise, Queens Park features many unique and accessible play spaces that cater for toddlers to teens. It truly has something for everyone, with tree-lined avenues and woodlands, open space sporting ovals, an off-leash dog area and barbecue and picnic facilities throughout.
