Being a city that is still not taken over by urbanization, Ipswich retains its quaint countryside charm that is emulated by the many green spaces that carpet most areas of the city. In fact there are over 500 parks surrounding the Ipswich City and out of all, the Queens Park is perhaps the most popular. Apart from offering so much of green that does wonders to your soul, the park also has a fantastic playground and lots of free barbeque spots making it a perfect park for family picnics. Visitors can also enjoy free entry to the exotic Nerima Gardens as well as the Ipswich Nature Centre, both of which are located within the boundaries of the park.
