Queens Park, Heritage-listed botanical garden in Ipswich, Australia.

Queens Park is a heritage-listed botanical garden in Ipswich that spreads across formal garden beds, Japanese-style landscapes, and an Ipswich Nature Centre displaying native animals. The grounds combine cultivated gardens with natural habitats for visitors to explore.

Queens Park is the central section of a reserve granted in 1858 as a botanic garden and public park, after Ipswich residents objected at a public meeting in 1856 to Henry Wade's undeveloped 1842 site at Woodend. Trustees were appointed in 1862 with a deed for 207 acres, and Walter Hill of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens supplied a layout and araucarias and cupressus in 1864. The reserve shrank as the railway and two roads cut through it; the central section was gazetted a Park Reserve in 1891 and transferred to Ipswich City Council in 1893.

The Environmental Education Centre here runs regular programs about local plants and animals, helping visitors connect with Australian nature. These activities show how the park serves as a learning space for the community.

The park has barbecue areas, drinking fountains, accessible pathways, and restrooms available throughout the day. Parking is available near the main entrance, making it easy for drivers to access the grounds.

Hidden within the park grounds is the Bush Chapel, a small structure that blends religious architecture with the natural surroundings. This quiet space is used for ceremonies and shows how the park serves different community needs.
