Description of the attraction
Queens Domain Park is a huge open-air area in the Tasmanian capital Hobart, which houses several playgrounds, the Royal Botanic Garden of Tasmania and the Government Building, as well as many sports facilities. The northwestern part of the park is replete with picnic and barbecue areas.
The hilly park is located in the northeastern part of the city on the banks of the Derwent River. It was created back in 1811, and in the 1860s it was declared the property of the residents of the city.
