Queens Garden — Attraction in South Island

The Queen's Garden is a lovely shady little park near the centre of the city and the old railway. It has a beautiful big memorial to our list heroes and a couple of statues.

Small park area down the road from the Railway station. Just head towards the settlers museum and you should see a large monument in the middle of the park. There are a few other monuments scattered across the park as well as a statue of Queen Victoria. There are a few seats near the monument if you wanted a place to rest. It also has a nice view of the first church...
