The 30 best parks and gardens in Toowoomba

A true jewel in the heart of Toowoomba. Beautiful manicured and maintained garden with an abundance of topiary and flowers as well as stunning aged trees. Well worth a visit especially in spring. Highly recommended.

A must see visit in the city centre as part of the Carnival of Flowers and generally. Lovely spot to sit, relax, have a picnic and just enjoy the beautiful nature and fragrant flowers. Tip: I recommend parking close by at Secure Parking, 183 Herries St ($7 for the day) during the event.

This park really packs it in! There are incredible floral displays, tightly trimmed to and majestic trees! You will find a bit of whimsy mixed with practicality as you wander this city-square sized park!

Laurel Bank Park in Toowoomba is a sensory delight and a local treasure—especially for flower lovers and families. Here's what makes it shine: Floral Spectacle - Famous for its springtime displays during the Carnival of Flowers, with tulips, cherry blossoms, and themed garden beds that draw crowds and cameras. - The Scented Garden, designed with input from the Downs Association of the Blind, features raised beds of fragrant herbs and blooms for an immersive experience. Play and Relaxation - A recently upgraded playground includes inclusive equipment like adaptive swings, climbing walls, and nets. - Wide lawns, shaded picnic areas, croquet greens, and water features make it perfect for a leisurely afternoon. Community and Charm - Hosts events like the Carnival Parade and Devonshire teas at the Croquet Club. - Interactive art, animal-shaped topiaries, and sculptures add whimsy and character throughout the park. Accessibility and Amenities - Easy parking, clean toilets, and nearby cafés like Urban Designs make it visitor-friendly. - Dogs are welcome, and the park’s compact layout makes it easy to explore without feeling rushed. Historical Roots - Donated in 1932 by Samuel George Stephens, known as “the man of flowers,” who personally cultivated the land before gifting it to the city. If Queens Park is Toowoomba’s grand stage, Laurel Bank Park is its intimate garden theatre—bursting with color, fragrance, and community spirit.

We visited during the carnival of flowers, we had our dog with us and it was so good to be able to enjoy a walk around and have our dog welcomed as well. Thanks Toowoomba. Love your work, looked great and smelled wonderful.

A beautiful time of the year for the Laurel Bank Park when the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers are on. The parks gardens are transformed into children's book and movie characters. There is so much to see and photograph.

Wow first time ever visiting toowoomba flower display and it is now definitely on our comeback to place list for the flower shows every year simply the best displays in qld and a must visit if you are in toowoomba at this time of year. Unfortunately my photos dont do it any justice.

Beautiful look out. Especially at sunset. There are a few places to sit and enjoy the view, a few bench tables and bathrooms close by. The playground is great for kids (and adventurous adults) as well. Near the lookout is an entry to a few walking tracks, with one being near a small waterfall. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful afternoon.

Beautiful views and would have been absolutely stunning if not for the bush fires. Awesome playground, shame it’s only for the kids!! Lots of carparks but was very busy during the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers. Picnic areas also.

Picnic Point Lookout is a beautiful spot with stunning views over the Lockyer Valley and Toowoomba escarpment. It’s the perfect place to take visitors or enjoy a relaxing afternoon with family and friends. The walking trails are well-maintained, and the gardens are lovely to stroll through. There are plenty of picnic tables and barbecue areas, making it easy to enjoy a meal outdoors. The café nearby offers good coffee and snacks, which is a nice bonus. Parking is usually available, though it can get busy during peak times. Overall, Picnic Point is a fantastic place to unwind and soak in the scenery. The only reason it’s not a full five stars is that it can get quite crowded on weekends, but it’s absolutely worth a visit. I recommend going on weekdays if you can for a more peaceful experience. If you take a scenic route you’ll pass through some lovely landscapes.

We had a barbecue in the park and enjoyed a short bushwalking trail with beautiful views and fresh air. I’ve been to Toowoomba several times, but only now I discovered the beauty of this place. The lookout view was amazing—I’d love to come back again!

Beautiful lookout with amazing views and lovely picnic areas. Great spot to relax or go for a walk. However, some areas could be better maintained — needs more cleaning and greener lawns. Still worth a visit! 🌿🌄

This is such a lovely spot, the views of the valley are beautiful, well worth a visit. Such a lovely walk while enjoying the well maintained & beautiful gardens. The children's playground is a very unique place for children to enjoy.

Stunning view. I definitely suggest going to Picnic Point to check it out. The waterfall and parkland are beautiful

Visited during the Flower Festival season. The botanical displays are magnificent and such a vast variety of trees, gardens, lawns and floral beds. Beautifully planned and maintained. I felt immersed in nature, it was so calming.

Well maintained Garden. The gardens are vibrant and beautifully designed, especially during the Carnival of Flowers — it feels like walking through a painting! There’s plenty of open space for picnics, walking tracks, a great playground for kids, and lots of shady spots to relax. The atmosphere is peaceful, clean, and family-friendly. Perfect place to unwind, take photos, or enjoy a day out in nature. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Toowoomba! 🌸🌳✨

Visited the Toowoomba Flower Festival at Queen’s Park — it was crowded but absolutely beautiful! The gardens were perfectly maintained, full of colour, and the whole place had such a cheerful vibe. Loved that it’s dog-friendly too. Hats off to everyone who worked hard to make it look this amazing! 🌼

It's a wonderful time in Toowoomba. Gardens throughout the town are full of vibrant flowers and creativity. Lots to see and do in Queens Park, from shopping at the local farmers markets, going to the amusement park, winding through the maze or strolling through the park. I highly recommend Toowoomba's Carnival of Flowers 💐

This is a stunning, well maintained park. There are trees planted along all of the paths offering shaded areas, and the lawns are kept neat and tidy. The Flower Festival really makes great use of the garden beds in September and October, and the option of various playgrounds here is appealing. There are wide open spaces to kick around a ball in and various paths to get around the vast park area with. A beautiful spot.

Fortunate to have a break from the hospital to enjoy the beautiful Flower festival!! Thank you to all who put in so much effort. It is uplifting, inspiring and grounding.

Great park wit very nice flowers and plants. Very well maintained and a pleasure to spend time here Highly recommended

This is a great park for both passive and or active recreation. There are things to climb on, sit on and look at. Also, there are picnic tables for a special lunch or dinner. The young and young at heart will be busy exploring the features of this green play space. There is parking around the streets which open onto this area.

Despite being not peak rose season, there’s lots to see. A wonderful park to relax and walk the dog around.

Great spot to get some nice air/go for a walk on an evening. We went here on our way back from the flower festival and sadly it wasn't the rose season so there weren't many roses but it was still very nice and peaceful out there. They have plenty of seating (including covered areas) if you want to sit down and have your food. They also have bathrooms that are quite clean. There's also a small function room that you can hire, although I'm not sure what the process is - probably look online if you're interested 😊

Beautiful garden with many kind of roses

Nice and quite good place for the whole family. Plenty of parking space during the week day. The paths are wheelchair and pram friendly. Big green areas to play in. And a lot of different types of roses to see and smell. An ideal place for a wedding as they have a wedding gazebo. Toilets are close by. Bbq areas and playground are close by to. And has a lot of info about the history of the park. Highly recommend going to have a look 🙂🙂.

Absolutely stunning. What a beautiful garden. It easy to see that the gardeners take such care and pride in this gorgeous garden. Lovely experience. Very peaceful. Nice to walk around to look at all the fabulous roses in varying colours and sizes. If you just want to sit and take it all in, there are heaps of places to just sit and enjoy. Well worth a visit.

New flower beds added for spring. Plenty of nooks to chill

Very pretty park. Hopelessly small parking. A lot of noisy birds and basic toilets.

Lovely, peaceful park with bridges and running creek and waterfall. Ducks and mirroring lake water. Great kids playground (and we dont even have kids 😁)

Nice park with updated amenities throughout. Plenty of undercover areas and bbq areas as well as a massive undercover area on the southern side of the park. Always love seeing the cockatoos around the park and in the trees. Speaking of trees one of the largest bottle trees I've seen to date exists at Lake Annand park. Theres an expansive playground that my neices and nephews and thousands of other kids take full advantage of and then theres the walkways and bike lanes around the lake itself thats home to a myriad of ducks. Definetly recommend anyone to take full advantage of the facilities Lake Annand park provides!

An iconic, visually attractive park with good playground and picnic/BBQ facilities and extensive grassy areas around the small artificial lake. Very popular with families.

Lake Annand Park area is a beautiful space, you could have a picnic, take the children to play or just go to watch the ducks. There are plenty of trees to sit under so take a book and while away an afternoon relaxing and reading.

My 4 yr old son and I loved this place! Great playground and numerous areas to walk around and explore and watch ducks.

A beautiful park for picnics, parties, BBQs, playground or simply walking the dog.the duck pond and fountain give charm and the bride's and boardwalk add to the experience. Facilities complement the experience...and being located along the east creek linear park, you can extend your walk in either direction. A central location for lots of events.

Toilets close, nice mix of sturdy play equipment, and plenty of shaded areas to sit and watch the kids play. Love the long slide, and the Flying Fox is shorter and not as rough as the other 2 that are located in Toowoomba. BBQ area also, and ok car parking.

One of the best parks in Toowoomba for teens. Great climbing area and an awesome view. The flying fox always gets a massive workout anytime we go there. The only minor thing is it gets hot during the day with little shade around play areas. Best to go early morning or after 5.

There once stood a tree and this tree sheltered the concrete table and benches that sat beneath its branches and leaves. This was a nice place to picnic, away from the playground where most people gathered and was a good spot to get out of the sun and have a rest after the grandchild had finished playing. Why has this tree been cut down, just another typically Toowoomba-like act of mindless vandalism.

Amazing views of the darling downs, especially nice at sun set. It has clean and fun facilities for families and just generally a great place to relax and enjoy views

Beat place for family time and gathering. This place have playing space for family and bbq for friend, family entertainment.

Lovely, big open space with lots of grassy hills and trees. Plus, a great variety of kids play equipment too, for different ages. Really nice park, especially for families 👍

Awesome park, could do with some sort of shade over the big blue slide though, on a warm day that thing is scorching hot.

Toowoomba Christmas Wonderland at The Botanic Gardens is great for families. Plan your night accordingly as some nights have more activities than others. Anytime throughout the year the gardens are forever changing so always something new to view.

Absolutely stunning. The flowers are an added bonus to an already beautiful garden. Well done to all involved in the planning and maintenance.

Queens Park is one of my favourite places to visit each time I visit family in Toowoomba. It really comes to life during the Carnival of Flowers. The gardens look amazing, and the park is an absolute picture and delight to visit. It is wonderful to see families just enjoying the space and the spectacle.

A lovely place to have your lunch and stroll around. There are beautiful flower displays snd several mature specimen trees: I found the araucarians (bunya pines and relatives) very impressive

Attended the recent light display and was well laid out and reasonably priced. Looks great during carnival time. Excellent picnic area.

Amazing range of flowers and trees. Good time to visit with the carnival of the flowers on. Good place to relax. Nice big green areas to play in. Nice and quite well maintained gardens. Great spot to have picnics. Wheelchair friendly paths. Playground close by and bbq areas as well as toilets. Highly recommend going to have a look. 😊😊😊😊

Toowoomba botanic garden is well-known for its beauty in Spring each year when it puts on its finery during the Carnival of flowers. The bountiful displays, carefully crafted by a team of expert gardeners, are some of nature's most beautiful offerings. It's always a pleasure to see people old and young walking among the serene beauty and enjoying the mild climate of Queensland's garden city!

A lovely and enchanting place, perfect for a relaxing walk or taking beautiful photos. We even took a little back way to reach the gardens, which made it feel more adventurous. The only downside was that it was quite busy, so it was hard to get photos without people in the background. Still, it’s a wonderful spot to stop by and enjoy.

We loved the Japanese Garden. We would go again. Nice areas to put a mat down and enjoy. The cherry blossoms were very pretty. Some trees are yet to showcase their full beauty today.

Lovely garden! Very tranquil when not busy, avoid during the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers if you want peace! The cherry blossoms are blooming currently which was also a huge bonus (26/09). Parking was slightly problematic with the festival but usually isn’t too bad.

It was a fortunate experience to visit on a weekday. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, presenting a stunning display of seasonal beauty. With fewer visitors, the surroundings remained peaceful and serene, allowing for an uninterrupted appreciation of the natural scenery. This timing provided an ideal opportunity to capture and enjoy the essence of the garden at its finest.

Visited this place late afternoon on the last weekend (which also happened to be a long weekend) of the Carnival of Flowers, so was very crowded with visitors, picnicers and kids but was still a beautiful place. Not as peaceful and tranquil as it can be at others times i have visited. Wistetia and lillies were in bloom but it looked like the cherry bloosoms may have just finished when we visited in early October. Don't miss a stroll through our own native flora at the Gumbi Gumbi Gardens just around the corner.

Peaceful and relaxing place to walk, sit, talk or meditate, even picnic. There are a few tables near the lake and a covered Pavilion overlooking the lake and gardens. Recommend a visit. Beautifully maintained gardens. Plenty of parking at either entrance. Can be busy in conjunction with festivals, but mostly a great to place to stroll, and enjoy the natural, green 'architecture'. No entry fees. Most walks are flat or modest gradient, some paths have steps, none steep. Toilets at the western boundary.

Wonderful garden, we also visited Queens Park gardens. Between Queens Park and the Japanese Garden it makes the 2 hour drive from Brisbane worth it. Will definitely visit again the future. We actually found this garden to be prettier than some of the gardens we visited IN Japan 😁 both Tokyo and Osaka.

Just an amazingly beautiful and creative display of clever arrangements of flowering plants, growing in open areas among some very impressive trees and well kept grounds. It is very busy around festival time. Try visiting a few days afterwards. Parking is fine out of festival time, but be prepared for a walk if the festival is on. There is a variety of food vendors with dedicated seating, usually nestled amoung the shady trees. Toilets are near the carpark outside the main garden display area, so plan appropriately. Vehicle access and egress are easy. Bloom beds are in full sun, go prepared.

The gardeners always ensure that their gardens are looking great, but while the festival is on, the gardens are looking extra amazing. There is so much beautiful colour and a large variety of flowers to look at. There are always food trucks, music and entertainment and toilets available. Make sure to wear a hat and enjoy your stroll around the many parks.

Beautifully presented bed of flowers on many kinds, was amazed to see the colours and effort done by the team. Flowers holding up well in the summer like temperatures. Worth the time to explore, plenty of off street parking available. No cost to visit food and coffee trucks were present as well as Ferris wheel

This is an absolutely stunning events that happens each September! There are more flowers than you can possibly imagine and the passion of the private gardens that open their gates is incomparable. Be sure to mark your calendar as this is a must-see event!

Absolutely stunning! The colourful array of spring flowers brings pure joy and delight. The Queens Park rangers were so knowledgeable, helpful and really friendly explaining the different flowers.

Went last Sunday (28/09/25) with some friends and we had an awesome time. It was so much fun. These are all the photos I took on the day. 😍😍

Well with a visit. Spectacular flowers this year as they had a cool winter do all the plantings 4 months ago have all come through flowering together at the same time.

Awesome dirt jump park provided by the council. Caters for all levels of riding. ( Though a bigger line again would be nice) Needs safer parking. Also would be awesome if they provided toilets, picnic tables, and BBQs.

A great place to bring your kids, if they're confident on a bike. Lots of different jumps for varying skill levels, seems to be well maintained and I've never really seen anything else like this that's publicly available. Great spot.

This place is amazing. Haven't seen anywhere else like it that is provided for the community. It has only recently opened and is maintained very well. Signage is sufficient and not complicated. Idyllic area with lots of shade. Everyone using the area seems to get along excellently and are aware and friendly.

1st time I visited the park for of road cycling & it sure gave my upper body a good work out. I will return for further skills improvement gradually. 🤗

was a good place to take kids . but idiots have started digging out their own jumps

great little skills park for kids and advancing riders as well just a little small a bigger track would be nice

A touch run down but such a good facility with so much more potential! Needs a little bit more time thrown at it to make it perfect!

Stunning park area with a lookout, small waterfall, picnic areas and a restaurant. The park itself is relatively large and there's plenty of different short walks to choose from. The lookout is particularly nice, with views of Table Top Mountain and the surrounding area. Dogs are allowed on leash in the park, including down to the waterfall area and stepping stones. Parking can be quite limited and there's toilet facilities nearby.

Nice enough place to visit. Probably the most touristy place to visit in town

A lovely hiking and viewing area. Easy and well marked trails lead to beautiful views. Plenty of parking.

A stunning view of just about everything! Nice to walk around as well. Scenery is breathtaking. Nice waterfall, kid’s playgrounds and a bandstand that artists and bands play at on weekends. Function centre looks good, great views. Nice day out for the whole family

This place is beautiful and extremely well maintained, excellent place for a BBQ or a picnic, the view is amazing. There are also multiple walks. The children will be spoilt for choice as there are multiple children parks which are all in good condition.

Wonderful spot for a picnic like the name suggests. You get a beautiful view of the surroundings as this is the highest spot in Toowoomba. Also has a lovely little restaurant with the same amazing view as you eat. It is also excellent for hikes that last around 45 mins and it even has a trail where you can ride your bike.

Gorgeous relaxation and picnic spot - tucked down a little footpath to the left of the first carpark when you pull into the lookout entrance.

Nice and quite good place for the whole family. Big green areas to play in or have a picnic. Good place to read some of the history of the park. The path is wheelchair and pram friendly. Bbq areas are close by as well as toilets. The roses around are pretty with a lot of different types there to see and smell. Highly recommend going to have a look 🙂🙂.

Roses weren't in season when we visited in Feb, but it's a beautiful park nevertheless. Great for a picnic and let the kids run around. A church group were having a meeting in one of the shelters, so it has many uses. Recommend you check it out!

Go there every Thursday to walk the dogs. Lovely park with well maintained paths and gardens. Roses are unbelievable.

Great park, great place to take family for a picnic or bbq. Very interesting reading about the history of the park... Some great looking roses and the history that goes with them. There is some great military links to the park as well if you are interestedin that particular subject. Well worth a look..

It's ok.

The roses are soon to bloom. Plenty of places to sit, walking paths are wheel chair friendly

Fantastic place to take a walk and explore heritage roses.

This is a wonderful park set up through the generosity of a local doctor to support the breeding of waterbirds. Various species nest at different times of year with winter being ibis and herons in trees in spring. However the variety of bird life supported is significant and the park provides food and shelter for many species beyond just waterbirds. You will find various parrots, cockatoos,, butcher birds, plovers, water hens, coots, ibis, herons, egrets, galah, miners, currajongs all in the one place. There is always a surprise new bird to be spotted so it's well worthwhile paying a few visits.

Beautiful area to look at some birds. Plenty of picnic tables, some taps and bathrooms.

A good place to visit a watch the birds while you gather thoughts. It was very peaceful listening to the bird calls. I did see some egrets mixed in. I was lucky enough to see some baby Eurasian Coots. There are also an assortment of ducks. It did feels like that there were a few too many ibis.

More ibises than I expected! Parking could be more obvious. Very well maintained, clearly cared for. Nice, out of the way location.

Loved this park ! It was such a delight coming here and having a nice walk.

Lovely afternoon for a stroll - and a surprisingly attractive duck came to see us! A beautiful place.

Wonderful, is an excellent place to go to and enjoy the wildlife and peacefulness

As a support worker I take clients to Lemway Park in Kearney Springs which they really enjoy. Lemway Park has undercover areas, bbq, playgrounds, walking tracks and train tracks for the Toowoomba Live Steamers Inc. There are also scenic waterways and grassy areas. Theres also a toilet block nearby and a convenient bus stop at the park.

Beautiful parkland, play ground , BBQ, toilets , ducks , Kids steam rail

Perfect little spot to chill with the kids and enjoy a lake view in the centre of the city

Has been a local and favourite park for years. Lovely views around the lake with much wildlife of birds. Watch people walking dogs, kids playing on equipment, couples relaxing on the grass, or those riding, skating, or scooting on the paths. Use the bbq or just have a seat and relax. Peaceful. Also home to the Toowoomba Live Steamers steam train ride.

So much fun walking around.

Kids loved the playground and train (both riding and waving as others went past). Paths were good for riding balance bike.

A nice place for picnic lunch or a casual walk. Peaceful ponds and winding paths with playgrounds and BBQs scattered along the way. The train rides are fun for the whole family.

We spent the afternoon at Toowoomba Live Steamers for my grandson’s third birthday, and it was absolutely fantastic. He’s completely obsessed with trains, so this was a dream come true for him—and it didn’t disappoint! They went above and beyond to ensure all the party guests felt welcome and had a great time. The setup was perfect for kids and adults alike. The trains were a hit with everyone, but especially with the birthday boy—he was grinning from ear to ear the entire afternoon. A huge thank you to the team for creating such a memorable experience. I can’t recommend Toowoomba Live Steamers highly enough for a unique and joyful celebration.

This was the best experience for the kids , shame it isn't every other weekend, everyone had so much fun , next time we will pack a picnic and stay longer.

Very friendly volunteers. Lots of train rides but the favourite has to be the steam train

Great little gem for Toowoomba, great for little ones.

Its very basic but my daughter love it

Every 3rd Sunday of the month is great feast for kids of Darling Downs. We love this place as it is superbly designed, lighter for parents' pocket :) Shoes are mandatory for all passengers though they will offer if you're not carrying one. So enjoy the ride n one of coolest place for kids

An excellent morning/afternoon of fun. Trains are immaculate and obviously loved by their friendly and engaged owners/operators. A club/service that deserves support. $2 per person per ride. 10-ride tickets available for $18. Covered shoes needed to ride, and they do have shoes you can borrow if needed.

It's a lovely little garden near the entrance to the university. The native plants are written up. It's quite interesting to walk around.

Was fantastic and informative. Paths for last 2 months or more have fallen into some neglect. Garden wouldn't require a lot of maintenance but need a little attention. Looking neglected and tired. A shame really .

Beautifully laid out garden with many natives with signage explaining the plants' use. Even better, there was an Aboriginal youth working there & who whipped out his phone to show what they looked like in flower & offer advice on growth.

Beautiful, natural park which is a haven for native birds and wildlife. I like that it is not as artificial as many other parks. There are many native trees and bushes and signs that let you learn their name and usage by native people.

Excellent educational walk, with signs and an app to explain the food and cultural significance of the plans along the way. Separate gathering areas to sit and relax.. and all on the USQ University grounds.

In grounds of uni & a very peaceful park to stroll around & enjoy native plants & trees. Lots of birds. Great to see name tags too.

Lots of valuable information on native plants

The gardens must have been amazing when the family were there. Now it's been endowed to the University of Queensland, the specialist care is lacking. Lovely grounds in need of a little TLC. And some plants had labels, some didn't. However, well worth the visit.

Beautiful gardens 💙 Beautiful quiet place to just soak up the jasmine. Has a small toilet 🚻

Stunning place with gorgeous arrangements of various gardens and ornaments

Beautiful Gardens on an old 1930’s Toowoomba estate. Owned by the Boyce family, their estate was donated to University of Queensland. (USQ). Open to the public during daylight hours the gardens are open to explore. The house is always locked up. On occasions you can see people having Garden Parties, high teas’ (all BYO) and need to seek permission from USQ prior. One can’t simply rock up and have a picnic. 😂 My favourite thing is photographing the house and walking through the Hoop Pine plantation, a very popular location for photography. There are many more areas in the garden to explore, most years flowers in bloom to coincide with the toowoomba flower festival. You can easily explore the estate within an hour and spend many more if you love the details. You can learn more about Boyce gardens on Wikipedia.

Beautiful and peaceful gardens. Fascinating to walk around and read about the history of the original owners. Gardens need a little TLC but that doesn’t take away from the gardens beauty.

Really lovely area to walk around. Very spacious and open

Small garden, great nature walk. Met lots of friendly dogs 🐕🥰

A valuable site located close to the urban area. It can serve a valuable role in protecting bushland and wildlife, while at the same time catering for recreational activities. Reading other comments I see a bit of criticism of council for the weeds and management issues but it is necessary to give this site time to recover from years of grazing. The ecological processes are slow. Great to see the preparations for expansion of tree plantings in the grassy areas near the car park. Community needs to support the council in this work.

Easy climb, beautiful views. As you hike you can see how much work is needed to remove all the weeds you stumble across, aka alien plant species.

Great walking tracks, great views, and fantastic mountain bike trails. Very well maintained.

Ugh! Yet another Toowoomba Region park that is all for the people, not for the environment. Council's approach to weed control seems to be to blitz everything, exotics and natives alike. The disturbance is merely promoting the exotic grasses like Gatton panic. Inappropriate clearing on the hill tops for sake of views has removed some of the most rare and interesting native dry scrub species that once existed there. The scree slopes on Mt. Peel were once covered in interesting native species like Hoya and orchids. Today all gone - just covered in green panic and Lantana. What an environmental disgrace this park is, but very typical of the poor management being offered by local Councils out in the back blocks who have no idea what they are doing.

Love this place. Highly effective for bushwalks, sunset viewing, and marriage proposals. Would visit again.

A great place for a walk. Severalntracks to choose from. Easy, moderate or hard.

Serenity and tranquility a few kilometres away from buzz of Toowoomba city

Great park and playground. There is a lot of shade around the place but not a lot over the playground. Especially missing it over the little kiddies area, little sensitive hands and feet get easily burned on surfaces that retain the heat. Would like to see more. The big trees are gorgeous.

The grandkids loved it, the children loved the picnic facilities and support facilities, plenty of tree shade to sit and enjoy, and the train is still there from when my oldest grandson was a toddler.

Large open area with plenty of shade and seating available.

Fun play equipment for kids. Also good markets to browse through.

Such a beautiful place of serenity in the middle of town.

lots of flowers and playgrounds.

Good

This guy is a scammer, don't trust him. Gave me a medical excuse as to why he couldn't open up during his normal hours, I said fine I'll wait and he kept pushing the time back for other than further than never got back to me at all and then blocked my number the next day. Wooden headband so bad but I have a great dane with throat cancer and he's coughing up and he's going to get stomach torsion unless I get something to relax those gag reflex I explained it to this guy he just ignored me and blocked me because he figured out I wasn't gonna be scammed by him

great product , much cheaper then others in town , got it for 90 bucks.. wonderful.

Don't train your big dog to walk there, the other people abuse you for having him on a leash in training and abuse you to get him outta the park, because you ask them to keep their dog away that's off leash!!! Any dog on a leash in an off leash park is in training, have respect and keep your dogs away please!!

Great location. Very peaceful. Only downside would be not enough bins.

I love going for walk there with my dog. Two old girls enjoying the tree filled park. Would like a couple more seats around so we could sit and enjoy nature. More seats in a lot of parks would be good. Not benches but the seats with backs so us older generation can have a rest if need be. Love listening to water running over rocks & plants. Lovely and clean. Kathy & Ruby say thank you.

Beautiful place to walk your dog or just sit and relax

Great off leash area for dogs! They absolutely love the creek that runs through the park

I love this park and my dog gives it 5000 stars. If you are a dog person show up from 4.30 to 6.30 pm Do bring a leash until you and your dog get used to the canine circus. There is a variety of flora , fauna and a creek runs through it; it is pretty and large enough to really walk .

Nice park to walk the dog. It has a stream flowing through it and a water retention basin on one end. They have added a nice bridge with a variety of native plants. With concrete walkways it is great if you have prams or wheelchairs. There is plenty of opportunity to take some nice photos from on the bank of the retention basin as the sun sets. The day I was there we saw a few ducks but not to many other forms of visible wildlife. There is a playground down closer to the Alderley Street end, surrounded by sand that the kids love to play in.

Went on the track 4. It was nice pretty flat walk then picnic tables with amazing view! Recommended!

Easy trail most of the way, but can just pick your own path as you get close to the falls. Would recommend, good adventure

Will be great once improvement works are completed. Update : Picnic tables and water tanks have been built on the clearing, making it a great place to come watch the sunrise over the Lockyer Valley. At the moment there is water flowing over Hell Hole falls

Great for an afternoon walk

Easy enough little trails, didn't do the whole thing only going out to just past spur trail as it was pretty muddy

Great option for multiple hikes and an option to hike all the way down to the base of a waterfall. Make sure you have water and appropriate clothing and hats if you wanna do the whole lot on a sunny day. The hike back up could be very taxing if you're not prepared. Check the AllTrails app for the correct routes. Also some picnic stations are available, however not at the start of the trail.

Beautiful scenery over the valley as you walk around the perimeter of the park, with a few short forays deeper in. The Hell Hole Falls trail goes down into the bowl, a 3 hour return trip if you're feeling adventurous. Tracks aren't that well developed, but you have the feeling of full immersion in nature, with an abundance of birdlife. A few nice picnic areas have been cleared among the trees along the trail to stop and rest.

Good collection and variety of plants. Reasonable prices. They have well maintained all items and free advises are really helpful. Team is friendly and helpful. You will also find gardening tools and fertilisers. 30mins and 1 hour street parking right out side of the road.

Not huge on plants (yes, something wrong with me) but my wife is. We are West Aussies and since moving to Toowoomba 8 years ago, have found Sungrown to be the friendliest, most knowledgeable Nursery with such an incredible range of beautiful plants and seedlings / fruit etc of everything one might want. Advice 2nd to none, and Customer Focus, Service and such a helpful, welcoming and friendly owners. When we arrived from WA (we live in the Lockyer / Lilydale) we were advised this should be our first stop. What great advice!! 10/10

Great variety. Helpful staff. Don't be fooled by the frontage, the range goes on on the othersaide of the shed

Employees don’t understand the phrase “customer service” older woman with a bob is extremely rude and unprofessional will never be going here again.

I was just at this establishment and felt absolutely stupid for even entering your business asked for help didn’t get much and am now crying in my car for feeling stupid to even visit this business. Thankyou for all your enthusiastic help, Didn’t even know what plant I was asking for. I was on face time yes but I asked for help I was more invested in getting your help than my face time video call…..the help your employee didn’t want to give maybe I look to young to be so into plants but that doesn’t matter I wanted to buy from your local business instead of Bunnings I’ve never had an experience like this there.

Awesome range of plants and the advice is always spot on. Great location and I always get a park right out the front.

Horrible attitude of worker behind counter. Asked nicely whether they would do a product cheaper as it looked deteriorated and sad looking. Woman kept saying “what for, what for” and proceeded to say she would rather take it home and put it in her own garden. I said I will leave it then and as I walked away, she made derogatory noises. If that’s the response I get from asking a simple question, I will not be returning even if they paid me.

A pleasant off leash area within Queens Park. The off leash area is unfenced and there's several sign posts for where dogs are required to be back on leash. The grounds are generally quite clear, with plenty of shade from the trees. There's at least one dog water fountain at one of the entrances too.

Lovely park, but at 4 p.m., no other dogs to play with and a million midges. We only stayed 5 min, but my cavoodle and I suffered with multiple bites for a week after. I won't be back.

The Queens Park Dog Area is absolutely beautiful and nice and clean for the dogs to run around and play the people are very friendly as well. And my beautiful gorgeous corgi cross foxy girl Lilly absolutely loves coming here and making new friends 🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜

Very pleasant, not fenced lots of trees and shade

Great dog friendly park. Bigger then Laurel Bank Park. Enjoyed both. Park house cafe on Margaret across street had nicest dog friendly environment, food ok.

Great park, great location. Just be careful with bigger dogs. My Kelpie got bitten there once by a German Shepard.

A beautiful park with super friendly people, dogs can play and have fun with eachother just a really nice afternoon before your back to work.

A hidden gem of the Toowoomba region. Amazing views! Definitely worth the visit if you’re in the area.

Rode my bicycle from Toowoomba and back. Had to walk my way up to the lookout (last 700m), nice ride, saw some kangaroos and a snake on the way. If you ride be safe, make sure you bring lights and a helmet. The lookout is beautiful as well, but the ride + the walk up the lookout even better.

A quiet place to relax and enjoy the natural scenery.

Nice south easterly view for a sunrise that lit up the valley beautifully. Great amenities.

Great lookout of the valley towards Warwick, with a BBQ station, swings, slides and a sandpit for kids, a toilet and handwashing station and a sub 1 K dog friendly walking track in the most random place imaginable 😃 I enjoyed the visit and the view and the area was very well maintained and clean.

This is such a hidden gem in Toowoomba. Spectacular views. There's a really nice family friendly park with tables and a coveted playground at the top with a reasonable amount of parks

Very nice park with a great view and good amenities. Barbecue and toilets available.
