Queen's Park, Maryborough, Heritage-listed botanical garden in Maryborough, Australia.

Queen's Park is a 5.2 hectare (12.8 acre) space in Maryborough's center, featuring rolling hills, green lawns, and numerous ancient trees along the Mary River banks. The grounds contain wide pathways and open areas designed for walking and spending time outdoors.

The botanical garden reserve was officially registered in 1873, following Andrew Petrie's exploration of the Mary River in 1842. This early development established the site as a center for nature conservation and recreation in the growing town.

The park contains the Maryborough War Memorial, and its 1873 trustees included Richard Bingham Sheridan, an Irish-born customs official appointed sub-collector at Maryborough in 1859 and elected chairman by his fellow trustees. The grounds were gazetted as a botanic garden reserve, so the park's civic role began with botany as much as commemoration.

The park runs along the Mary River off Sussex Street, with the bunya pine and sausage tree near the south-east corner entrance gates, so start there and work inward. The Maryborough War Memorial stands within the grounds as a fixed landmark for orientation. Shade from the mature trees makes the middle of the day workable.

The bunya pine near the south-east entrance gates is thought to survive from John Carne Bidwill's mid-1840s collection of Moreton Bay trees; his specimen was classified at Kew Gardens as Araucaria bidwillii. A sausage tree (Kigelia pinnata) in the park may also come from Bidwill's plants.
