Queens Park

Such a beautiful park to stroll through. Concrete walkways meander around majestic trees. Great place to take your dog for walks on a lead. Or, if you prefer there are 2 off lead areas. One for smaller dogs, the orher for larger dogs. While there, you are also joined by magpies..be careful though, during nesting season they do swoop. The park has several barbques areas, a playground, seating and toilets. There is the Orchid House that is open at certain times , and a beautiful Band Rotunda. Wander around to the Aboriginal Yarn Circle...so interesting to learn the cultures of our first inhabitants...a place to speak and listen others. It is really a gem in the midst of town. You will feel so refreshed after visiting. I have included a picture of the unusual Sausage Tree.

Mackay's first botanical style park est 1884 located to the east of CBD residential areas. Consist of amazing Orchid House display (open limited times each day), palm grove, aboriginal interpretation trial, original local cricket grounds, historical landmarks and structures, dog off-leash fenced park, large children playground complete with BBQs. Note: Internal traffic access no longer permitted. Off street parking via Shakespeare Street. Plenty of external parking. Allow half a day relax or 1.5 hours exploring.

Very nice, nicely established place.Lots of shaded areas.

Great park play, lots of space, toilets, bbq water refill taps bubbles, dog sections away from the child playground.

A beautiful park to explore with neat gardens, and an awesome playground!! Take the scooters and enjoy doing the loop track.

It’s huge! Took my small dog for a walk the other day, he was flat out just doing 1 lap. There is a small dog area as well but mosquito is out of control.

Absolutely beautiful, ❣️, the two young ladies do a magnificent job of keeping it that way

A beautiful place, great climbing rope nets. Found the hamster wheel a bit dangerous for little kids especially when the bigger kids would start running in it. Could do with instructions for only one person at a time maybe the kids would take more notice.

Great place to walk and the orchids house is nice when it's open. Just be careful when the sandflies come out.
