Queens Gardens is a heritage-listed formal garden in East Perth, Western Australia, located on Hay Street near the WACA Ground. Established on former brickfield clay pits and opened in 1899 to honour Queen Victoria, it features a central ornamental lake with bridge, mature trees, rose gardens and formal lawns. The 3.3-hectare park is noted for its English-style landscaping, heritage Peter Pan statue and tranquil setting within inner-city Perth.

Visitors can expect a tranquil, formally landscaped inner-city park centred on an ornamental lake with a small bridge and island. The gardens feature paved walking paths, manicured lawns, mature trees, rose beds, flower displays and open grassed areas. A bronze Peter Pan statue, seating and shaded areas are set within an English garden style layout. The site is suitable for leisurely walks, photography, picnics and quiet relaxation close to central Perth.

Developed on former brickfields and clay pits used in the early settlement of Perth. The site was reserved for gardens in the 1890s and formally opened on 9 October 1899, named in honour of Queen Victoria following her Diamond Jubilee in 1897. Designed with English formal garden principles, it retains early layout elements, mature plantings and the Peter Pan statue replica installed in 1929. Listed on the State Register of Heritage Places.

A valued inner-city public open space for recreation, community gatherings and ceremonial use. Known as a popular venue for wedding ceremonies and photography, and as an example of late Victorian formal garden design in Western Australia. Maintained by the City of Perth as a heritage garden for public enjoyment.
