Queens Park, Toowoomba

Queens Park is a large garden featuring extensive botanical collections, sporting fields, and paved pathways throughout the grounds. The space combines plantings with recreational and sports facilities for various visitors.

The park's story begins in the mid-1800s with a vision to create a botanical garden, involving the planting of exotic trees and construction of facilities. These early efforts established the foundation for what became an important local landmark.

The park hosts the annual Carnival of Flowers, where seasonal blooms and garden displays reflect the community's dedication to botanical excellence.

The park is accessible through several entry points with parking available near main roads. Visitors will find restrooms, water fountains, and covered picnic areas distributed throughout the grounds.

A decommissioned naval cannon from the early 1900s sits among the botanical collections, marking a connection to the region's maritime past. The gun was donated after it was retired from active naval service.
