Spent 3 hours here to admire the huge pine trees and spring flowers, especially the cherry blossoms. The lakeside views were amazing in a sunny Sunday.

This place looks amazing in every time of the day. Clicked various videos and photos at different time if the day and all of them turned out to be amazing. The town of Queenstown is meant to be enjoyed, meant to be praised.

Beautiful and easy walk. I did this first thing in the morning to watch the sunrise and it was stunning. Well maintained trails and some big gorgeous trees. There’s a lot of activities, like bowling, tennis, skating and frisbee golf. I didn’t partake in any but it’s awesome that it’s there. It’s a quick walk and the gardens, landscape, and views are worth it!
