Gidday and welcome to our journey through Queen's Park.
The park is as old as Ipswich itself , making up part of the original surveyed settlement in 1842. In 1862 designs began to shape it into the attraction it is today .
Queen's Park caters to nearly all occasions. Picnic tables and bar-b-que areas are scattered throughout and a huge playground keeps the kids occupied. With a recently renovated look, Queen's Park kiosk sits in the centre of the park (a relaxing snack spot to recharge) and don't forget to check out the enviromental centre next door .
