Queens Park In Ipswich

Queens Park captures the timeless charm of Ipswich, proudly standing as one of Queensland’s oldest parks, with roots dating back to 1864. You can feel the history beneath your feet and in the shade of its grand, established trees.

From the moment you descend the hill into Ipswich Central, the park’s expansive green beauty will draw you in. The playground is a family favorite, inspired by the city’s coal mining history. It boasts a flying fox, a fixed model train, a Liberty Swing for wheelchair users, and even water pumps to cool off—good luck convincing the kids to leave!

Don’t miss the Environmental Education Centre and Queens Park Café, perfect for a snack or meal before exploring the Ipswich Nature Centre, home to adorable creatures like wombats, bilbies, and quolls. Round out your visit with a stroll through the serene Japanese Nerima Gardens or a glimpse of the heritage-listed Incinerator Theatre, a nod to Ipswich’s cultural legacy.
