Very Impressive

A well maintained garden, with lots of beautiful areas to see. My children loved looking and the bird life and turtles. A great place to relax and enjoy a picnic. Definitely worth seeing.

Beautiful and peaceful

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this beautiful and peaceful place. Lots of paths down which to meander, lots of seats where one can sit quietly and contemplate the trees, plants, water and ducks. Loved how families with toddlers come here to let the little ones...More

Beautiful and Relaxing

Spring and Autumn are the best times to visit as there is lovely foliage on the trees. It's nice to walk around and relax.

Graet place to spend quite time with friends

Very small with parking on the street can see the whole garden in 20 min or spend time and relax. Has some birds and if you lucky you may spot some rare bird or two. However this is a place to enjoy some quite time.

One of my favourite places in Toowoomba

I love coming here at different times of the year. Sometimes it can be quite busy with lots of walkers and families about but at other times you can have the entire gardens to yourself. Love the birds and tortoises and other wildlife. Very peaceful...More

Cool, even in the middle of summer.

We were there in the morning so that helped but we were surprised it wasn't hotter. Would have helped to have more explanatory signs. However the ambience and peacefulness were just great.

Autumn Visit

What a wonderful garden. I went with an art group, The BRISBANE CITY SKETCHERS and we had a wonderful day sketching in these gorgeous gardens. Well kept, and beautifully serene.

Time with disability client

The Japanese gardens are gorgeous. A lovely place to take people and walk around and have lunch or just catch up with friends. My client loves to feed the duck. Plently of shade.
