Pan Pacific Peace Gardens — Attraction in Ipswich City

It was a warm day at 32°C...so we had the park to ourselves. After years of passing by on the train, we finally decided to pay a visit. The top end of the park has picnic tables and free BBQs...but no toilets. A small toilet block is placed near the main park entrance. There is a flood damaged area of pathway near the main park entrance. It remains closed, however other existing paths do bypass this area. Also, near this closed area, are hundreds of roosting bats in the tree canopy. A bit smelly and messy. They will, no doubt, move on later in the season. All in all, a pretty and under-utilised park.

No playground but plenty of space for exploring a must seems a world away...
