Anderson Park, Townsville

Anderson Park, Townsville, Arboretum in Townsville, Australia.

Anderson Park is a 20-hectare arboretum in Pimlico, Townsville, holding tropical trees of the dry tropics and northern Queensland, palms and one of the world's largest Pandanus collections. Its sections include a Cape York area, a palm collection, a tropical fruit orchard and a conservatory opened by appointment.

The land was acquired in 1929 from the Water and Electricity Supply Department, and initial plantings of Raintree, Eucalyptus, and Melaleuca began in 1932. These early trees laid the foundation for the diverse arboretum that exists today.

The park's name honours William Anderson, Townsville's first Curator of Parks (1878–1934), and was given in 1932. Its Cape York section gathers palms, gingers and pandanus from the peninsula, while the tropical fruit orchard grows mango, lychee, black sapote, breadfruit, cinnamon, cloves, coffee and tea.

The park is located in the Mundingburra area and easy to explore on foot, with clear walking tracks and rest areas distributed throughout the grounds. Visitors should bring sturdy shoes and water, especially on warm days, as shade from trees varies across different sections.

Anderson Park's pandanus collection is one of the world's largest, holding most Australian Pandanus species alongside plants from New Guinea, Southeast Asia, the western Pacific islands and Madagascar. The international garden code of the Townsville botanic gardens is TOWAN.
