- BecBirmingham, United Kingdom537 contributionsdisc golf!The gardens are absolutely beautiful and a peaceful place for a sit down in nature. They are very well-kept, and there are plenty of benches and grass space. It's so nice to see groups of people having picnics or even work meetings in the park. My favourite part about the gardens is the disc golf - the course is very well coordinated with a mix of difficulty for a fun game. It seems to be very popular, so it's clear to see that it's enjoyed by many others as well as myself. I have spent hours and hours in these gardens watching the sunset, playing disc golf with friends, and taking a picnic lunch to sit in a little piece of paradise.Visited February 2021Written March 31, 2021
- val mUnited States202 contributionsLovely roses and sculpturesYou won’t need much time to walk through it, but worth it. Of course the rose gardens may not be blooming all year long. I loved the wooed carving of the ferns that was supporting a large tree limb! There are tasteful signs asking that dogs be kept on a leash.Visited March 2020Written March 13, 2020
- BS833Flower Mound, Texas59 contributionsVery pretty with nice pathsThe gardens are very pretty and nice to walk around. A path connects down to the city central. We were able to park near the gardens and walk into the city. Parking can be tough to find in the city and the time limits are less than the lot for the gardens. You can park up to 4 hours by the gardens.Visited November 2019Written January 1, 2020

What a beautifully maintained garden. The tree specimens were fantastic and the paths were easy to follow and most had spectacular views of the lake. Unfortunately the day was pretty windy when we visited so we just walked the high tracks and not the lakefront tracks. It's a great place for picnics or walking your dog or for children to burn off some energy.

The gardens are a beautiful place to walk. The walk takes you alongside the Wakatipu lake and there are many places to sit if you are tired. There is the short walk and the long walk with maps put up at many places. Just sit and gaze into the silence of the lake or play around with children , there is something to do for everybody. For children there is a huge play area.
On saturdays there is a flea market so just stroll around

If you want a bit of chill time then walk through the gardens. They are not a massive botanical gardens but they are free and there is a lot of interest especially the fascinating frisbee golf game that is played by the locals. If you walk through the garden entrance you can walk back along the waters edge path and enjoy views of the lake. Never expect too much for nothing but this is a great way to enjoy a few hours in the sun and a very pleasant walk.

It was refreshing to discover the gardens and walk round the edge of the lake on a warm day. Well formed path and great view of boat antics in the bay. We returned via a different path through the middle of the gardens and discovered tennis courts, bowls, duck pond, statues. Plenty of huge trees to shelter from the sun.

We were looking for our lodging when we found this park. We immediately parked the car and went in. It is really nice. There are lots of really big trees - even giant sequoia.They have names on about everything - and I really liked that.
The roses were all still in bloom, but a little past their prime.
There were people lying all over the place reading and just enjoying the day.
There is a lawn bowling "place" inside that has about 4-5 "lawns". Bathroom is near there as well.
There is a stream up the middle where ducks are swimming around.
All in all a really pleasant surprise since we were not looking for it.

Lovely clean and pleasant park, lots to enjoy. Duck feeding is a big thing, with the Lions Club selling bags of feed for $2. Frisbee golf sounds interesting and the sculptures were good. Nice big pond and the flowers must have been outstanding in the summer

I'm sure it would be beautiful any time of year but you may want to check before you book. I believe it may be cold with snow that time of year.

Hi - we'll be visiting in Dec/Jan 18-19. Is the park always open, or does it have hours? Does it close for the evening/night at any point? Thanks!

Hi, from what I noticed it is always open and there are lights on the pathway for night walks around the lake. From our accommodation on the opposite side of the lake we noticed people walking at all hours. Lights still on early morning hours as well. Queenstown is lovely with lots to do for all ages. Apartment accommodation is the way to go. Stay clear of convenience stores, prices outrageous. There is a 4 square store in town reasonable or a little further out if you have a car is a Countdown Supermarket same as the Australian Woolworths almost. Have a great holiday. Cheers 🍷

Will be visiting with elderly mother in June 2017. What kind of shoes should we bring so she doesn't slip if there is ice?

The garden is not too difficult for walking, hiking boots ideally but if they are too heavy, runners can be fine, lot of people go there for a run so stay on the tracks or walkways and she will be fine

Hi, if i am interested in 3 people stay, would 1 bedroom be sufficient? is there 1 room available with a double bed and a single bed? thank you

Sorry. Stayed in a room with only one queen bed, so can't really help. Normally the hotels got a queen and single in a family room which works fine. Enjoy your trip. Queenstown is lovely!!
