disc golf!
The gardens are absolutely beautiful and a peaceful place for a sit down in nature. They are very well-kept, and there are plenty of benches and grass space. It's so nice to see groups of people having picnics or even work meetings in the park. My favourite part about the gardens is the disc golf - the course is very well coordinated with a mix of difficulty for a fun game. It seems to be very popular, so it's clear to see that it's enjoyed by many others as well as myself. I have spent hours and hours in these gardens watching the sunset, playing disc golf with friends, and taking a picnic lunch to sit in a little piece of paradise.

Gardens with a view
I had a free morning before leaving Queenstown and decided to do the Garden walk. I was rewarded with a lakeside walk that took in views of the city and pier areas as well as the lake. The gardens have some inclines but is manageable. The forest of tall trees on the peninsula are magical and several specimens are truly old and full of character. Unfamiliar with this sport, but, there were several teams playing frizbee golf in the forest. A very pleasant walk around the perimeter and the entrance to the gardens has a lovely gazebo - lots of seating around the garden walk. The magnolia buds were not far from blooming and the gardens are well kept - will be beautiful once flowers emerge. A very relaxing location with a playground and delightful cafe on Marine Drive end.

Beautiful walk and views
I walked around these gardens 3 times during our stay and saw different things each time. It was lovely. There is a fabulous kids playground right on the foreshore. Great views of both sides of the lake and different little parts all the way through with fountains, ponds, statues and some less manicured more forestry sections. There is an ice skating rink in the middle too. Got some beautiful photos of Queenstown. Very worthwhile!
