Overview

Queens Park sits on 81 hectares in the middle of Invercargill, New Zealand. The Band Rotunda, built to remember the local bandsmen lost in World War I, stands at its heart. The Feldwick Gates mark the main entrance, a familiar landmark for anyone who knows the city. Beyond the gates, the park opens up into a quiet space with old trees, gardens, walking paths, and a scattering of sculptures and public art. There are animal enclosures and places for children to play. Coronation Avenue, lined with trees, cuts through the center and ties the park together.
