Introduction

The Launceston City Park is located in a prime location, nestled in the northeast of the city center, with pleasant surroundings and lush grass. The park features a greenhouse named John Hart Conservatory showcasing various flowers, while a delicately-crafted pavilion sits next to the historic "Golden Jubilee Memorial" drinking fountain. In 1965, Launceston officially established a sister city relationship with Ikeda City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan, resulting in the establishment of a Monkey Island within Launceston City Park, providing visitors with a unique experience. In addition, the park is adjacent to a unique Victorian-style building named Albert Hall and the City Park Radio Museum, which combines historical and cultural significance. Visitors can also explore exhibitions by local designers at the Tasmania Design Centre at the park entrance, experiencing the cultural significance of the land. Moreover, the city park is also the venue for an annual food festival, undoubtedly a must-visit attraction when in Launceston.
