Queens Park, Invercargill

Queens Park is a park in Invercargill, New Zealand, and was part of the original plan when Invercargill was founded in 1856. The park is 200 acres (0.81 km2) in extent. It is just north of the city centre, bounded by Queens Drive to the east, Kelvin Street to the west, Gala Street to the south and Herbert Street to the north. The Gala Street entrance features the Feldwick Gates, built in 1924 and named after John Feldwick, brother of MP Henry Feldwick.

Notable events
The park co-hosted (along with Southland Boys' High School) the 2006 State Twenty20 Cricket Knock-Out Tournament, on 10–12 November 2006. The final round of the tournament was set to be played at Queens Park but due to bad weather only 4 of the scheduled 9 matches took place. The weekly Saturday Invercargill parkrun takes place at Queens Park. Organized by volunteers, the 5 km run welcomes runners of all fitness levels. In July 2020, the Invercargill parkrun became one of the first in the world to resume after COVID-19 halted the weekly event in early 2020. ==References==
