点评:One of the interesting outdoor attractions at Queenstown is the 14.75 hectare public Gardens that make up the scenic peninsula extending into Lake Wakatipu. The Queenstown Gardens were designed in the manner of a traditional English Garden and were opened to the public in 1866-67. The park is open 24 hours a day and is free to visit.
You'll find a classic rose garden, smaller native gardens, pond, grassy lawns, forested areas English oaks, Douglas firs along with various pines and willows along the shore lines. There is a old band rotunda, bowling green, shoreline walking trail with excellent views of the lake and snow capped mountains in the distance.
More modern park features include a frisbee golf course, children's playground areas, tennis courts, skate park and Ice skating arena. There are public toilets and some parking on the north side of the Gardens as well. On the whole, we really liked walking through the Queenstown Gardens, taking in the lovely small gardens, forested side and lake views. It is a nice place to venture into after spending time browsing the busier streets and lakefront promenade at the main town centre.

园内设有经典的玫瑰园、小型本地植物园、池塘、绿草如茵的草坪以及种植着英国橡树的林区。湖岸线周围生长着许多花旗松,还有各式各样的松树和柳树。园内有一个老式的乐队演奏台、一片草坪,以及一条沿着湖畔的步行道,从那里可以欣赏到湖泊及远处白雪覆盖的山脉的绝美景色。
较为现代的设施则包括飞盘高尔夫球场、儿童游乐区、网球场、滑板公园和滑冰场。花园的北侧还设有公共厕所和一些停车位。总体而言,这里环境宜人。我们非常喜欢漫步在皇后镇花园中,欣赏那些精美的小花园、茂密的树林以及湖景。在逛腻了镇中心热闹的街道和湖滨步道之后,这里是个非常适合休闲漫步的好去处。
