Queen's Park is located on Ligar Street, just to the east of the town center, on the other side of Creswick Creek. The exact age of the park is unknown, but trees were being planted there in the mid-1870s. Originally it ran the whole length of Ligar St, but in 1878 the Clunes Bowling Club was set up in the middle of the park and later formally excised from it. The remaining park was divided into two sections: a formal pleasure gardens of flower beds, trees and a fountain to the north of the bowling club; and a pinetum to the south, where there was also a wooden platform for entertainments.” (Extract from Clunes Museum website)
