Came here whilst the flower festival was on. Yes the park was busy but not overcrowded. The flowers for the festival were beautiful to look at and could see how much effort had gone into it Lorna W的完整评论

Beautiful park, visited during the very beginning of the Toowoomba Flower Festival. It was extremely busy late afternoon on a Sunday. Glad I walked from the hotel, would not have found a park. Defini… MEKtravels的完整评论
where is the best place to view the carnival of flowers parade for someone with mobility issues and how far would i have to walk from the shuttle bus that comes from picnic point? If standing around is diificult, is there somewhere near the end of the parade route that i can turn up to later say about 3:40 pm that is easily accessible from the shuttle bus where i can still get a view of the parade?

Hi. I'm not sure where the shuttle bus stops but I see a lot of tourist buses parked in Godsall Street during the parade. That is also where the parade ends, at the corner of Godsall and Hume Sts. The parade turns into Queens park on that corner. It would probably also be a good place for you to watch it although there is always a fairly big crowd on that corner. You can bring a camp chair and park yourself there and still get a good view of the parade.
Is it worthwhile visiting Queens Park at this time of year for floral dislplay. Considering I would need to drive 2 hours

I would go and stay overnight and have the weekend there or you will use 4 hours for a return trip. There are a lot of lovely gardens, the views are stunning from Picnic Point, there is also the Japanese Garden at Regent Street in Darling Heights near Usq, the roses at Newtown Park State Rose Garden in Holberton Street Newtown, are gorgeous, as they are at Brindabella Rose Gardens on the New England Highway up at Highfields. Queens Park is not as spectacular now nor is the Botanic Gardens as they were during Carival of Flowers week in Sep, but still nice to visit. Garnett Lehmann Park has no flowers but is a nice park for walking in, in Alderley Street. Laurel Bank Park is our scented park in West Street and is a real hidden treasure. Contact Toowoomba Tourist Information Centre for more information on phone 1800 331 155.You have to visit around mid September to visit, or have tours of all the winning champion gardens and this is when all of the gardens are at their best. It is still pretty in October. The grass is so green everywhere you look.
Could you tell me the most worthwhile time to visit Queens Park. I have seen photos of it and I am wanting to bring an elderly friend with me to visit it and see it but we would not want to drive 2 hours if there would be no worth while floral display beds ( after Carnival of flowers) any advice would be most appreciated

That is a difficult question to answer, because the city gardeners are always replacing gardens once the annual flowers die off but they replant again quickly. I know that most of the garden beds of annuals are in the process of replanting at the moment. Not all plants are short cycle and there are some nice permanent gardens as well. The four main places to visit are Queens Park, Laurel Bank Park both in or near city centre.. Picnic Point a definite visit.. and maybe on the way back to Brisbane go via Spring Bluff Railway Station, half way down the range on the road from Mt Kynoch to Murphys Creek then on to Brisbane. Maybe if you are planning a visit, give Council a call on 131872 - the lady on customer service will contact Parks manager and check for you. BUT overall the best times for Carnival flowers is about two weeks before and after Carnival week (last week of September). There are quite a few exhibition gardens also. If you come to Toowoomba call in at the Tourist Information Centre, on the Main Warrego Highway in the centre of town - they are pretty well up on all that is happening. Best wishes.
