Queens Park (Public)

From the elegant Feldwick Gates entrance off Gala Street, an avenue of English beech leads into the heart of this extensive park - all the major features can be explored from this impressive walkway. On the left is a dazzling display of modern roses while further to the west, plants sourced from the cluster of Sub-Antarctic Islands are displayed and the adjacent Jessie Calder Gardens incorporate a large collection of old fashioned shrub roses, heaths and irises. Queens Park is home to a significant collection of native plants and the azalea garden and rhododendron dell provide a good display into the early summer months. Further attractions include herbaceous borders, a rock garden, bog garden with adjoining ponds, authentic Japanese Garden and indoor "Winter Gardens" display houses.

Imaginations can run wild while exploring the large stumpery situated close to the superb aviary featuring some of New Zealand's native birds which are seldom seen in captivity. The animal reserve delights all ages with its variety of animals and birds. The many walk/cycle paths and tracks are complemented by a 3.4km long fitness track featuring 20 fitness stations and an 18 hole golf course. Throughout, Queens Park is enhanced by a variety of mature trees and shrubs, fine statuary, a large playground for the children with water play area and two excellent cafés.
