Laurel Bank Park, Botanical garden in Toowoomba, Australia.
The 4.3-hectare park contains multiple landscaped areas with cold-climate mature trees, formal pathways, and specialized floral displays near West Street.
Samuel George Stephens established the garden in 1904 as a private space before gifting it to Toowoomba in 1932, leading to its public accessibility.
The park features the 1934 Commemoration Gates with bluestone pillars and wrought-iron gates, marking the main entrance to this Queensland Heritage site.
Visitors can explore the maintained gardens, use the seating areas, and participate in activities at the Laurel Bank Croquet Club established in 1934.
During World War II, the park served as a rest camp for US Navy submariners, with the mess hall remaining as the sole structure from that period.
