Queens Park
A city park of about 80 hectares near the centre, with a rose garden, Japanese garden, small zoo, glasshouse and a magpie sculpture trail.
Queens Park is Invercargill's green heart. It has a winter garden glasshouse, a rose garden, a Japanese garden, a rock garden, a golf course and a zoo area where you can see alpacas, wallabies and birds. There's also a statue of Peter Pan and a children's playground. Rhododendrons and camellias bloom in spring, and the roses are at their best in summer. Admission is free. The main entrance is the Feldwick Gate on the north side, about a five-minute walk from the city centre.
