City Park

This is an amazing park. Beautiful green grass and plenty of space to enjoy it.
The duck pond is muddy water but the ducks love it.

The main feature of the park is the monkey enclosure. They have been in the park for years and the community includes young.

What a beautiful place to read a book , have some lunch, or just sit back and relax gazing at the parks beauty. Have a wander through the conservatorium filled with beautiful plants and water fountain. Don't forget to visit the monkey enclosure as well, the enclosure opens at 8am with keepers putting out lots of fruit , watch the monkeys have breakfast and play

Although the entertaining monkeys area worth a visit, it's the beautiful gardens and gorgeous established trees that make this park a lovely place to hold a picnic date or have a quiet recharging walk. Plentiful grassy areas, benches to sit and a kids playground with a cute little mushroom toilet room. Well groomed gardens with path access to get fully around making a great place for a walk. The hot house has a wonderful arrangement of flowers, orchids ferns and indoor plants. There are also toilet facilities available. Near Tamar st entrance there is this vintage radio museum. Very eclectic and interesting place to enjoy.

A must-see (FREE) attraction whilst visiting Launceston.
Well done to the local council for keeping this treasure so clean, maintained & appealing to visit.
There is so much to see and do here.
I visited the City Park radio station & Museum, the plant atrium, sat with the ducks. But the Japanese snow monkeys 🐒 are so cool to see.
The Monkeys are fed 4 times a day, so you see them interact with the keepers & ask questions. 25 in total, including many new babies (Feb).
The annual 3 day FESTIVALÈ held here on Feb 2 - 4th, was so good too.

Such a delightful multi-faceted park, impeccably kept and surprising in its inclusion of a conservatory, exhibition of Japanese macquaqes and a radio museum!

Best park I've ever been to, had no idea walking in there would be so many ducks, a building full of beautiful flowers and an enclosure full of monkeys. Couldn't recommend this park more!!

Nice place to spend some time. Like me, if you are wondering around searching for monkeys then they are near the entrance in the closed facility. I was searching in the trees. 😀

This park was very beautiful. The flowers surrounding the benches were just inviting you to sit and enjoy this green space.
The conservatory was just bursting with or hids and othe fabulous flowers.
The monkeys were very entertaining, and I had a good chuckle at their antics.

Launceston City Park is a heritage park that was established in the 1820s by the Launceston Horticultural Society. In 1863 it was passed to the Launceston City Council.

It is a beautiful park near the centre of town with a display of Snow Monkeys, a conservatory, a band stand, a fountain paying tribute to Queen Victoria, a duck pond, Albert Hall, Design Tasmania, City Park Radio and Museum and various other sculptures and tributes.

It was well worth the stroll through. The Radio museum is entry by gold coin donation but the rest is free to wander through, including the monkeys.

Very nice park for a tourist. I think it’s the only few places that lets you see captured monkeys for free. Most locals use the park as a detour

I couldn't believe there were monkeys housed in the park. Stunning peaceful park.

Beautiful park, the gardens are gorgeous! So well maintained.
Seen the monkeys in their enclosure. Loved watching them. 3 babies are not too old clinging to their mums. Lovely.
The monkeys go into their night time enclosure at 4.30pm.
So be there before 4.30 or you won't see them.

What a beautiful park. The gardens are stunning and the monkeys are super cute. What a relaxing way to spend a morning.

Although the monkeys are cute and worth a visit, it's the beautiful gardens and magnificent established trees that make this my favourite park in Launceston. Lots of grassy areas, benches to sit and a kids playground. Well maintained gardens with path access to get fully around making a great place for a walk. The hot house has a wonderful arrangement of flowers, orchids ferns and indoor plants.

We enjoyed Festivale. Lots of food and amazing music. Icehouse performed tonight.

Amazing park with lots of space. Needs working toilet in more corners of the park but easily enough to walk to the further corner to get toilets. Well kept and beautiful space

Beautiful and spacious public park with live monkeys and plentiful trees.

The appropriately named "City Park" is a beautiful park in the centre of Launceston. The grounds were spotless and extremly well maintained. Great place for a walk or a picnic with liots of open areas. There was also a Japanese Macaque exhibit which was free and very much unexpected.

Beautiful park. Relaxing & colourful. Perfect place to unwind and observe the world go by.

Stunning park in the city area, offering plenty of space with lots of shaded areas to have a picnic play with your children or just wander. The park also has a viewpoint to admire the Japanese Monkeys that live and bread in their own habitat. Worth the visit
