Nerima Gardens set in historic Queens Park in Ipswich – the first designated public park in Queensland – were designed in consultation with Ipswich’s sister city in Japan, Nerima.  The gardens feature winding stone paths through stands of trees, bridges and an ornamental lake. It’s not uncommon to see turtles, ducks and water dragons basking in the sun on rocks at the water’s edge.
