Highlights 

Collins Park is a traditional town park in central Wagga Wagga. It contains many old majestic trees with formal paths and lawns making it an ideal place for relaxation, a place to take small children, and a place to meet friends.

Most plants are exotic and show how earlier residents tried to create a European feel to the city.  It sits comfortably among the tree lined streets and wonderful older homes that surround it.

Collins Park is named for Alderman EE Collins who served as mayor of Wagga Wagga for 13 terms.

Collins Park was once home to the bird park, the fore runner of the Zoo now at the Botanic Gardens.

Location

Collins Park is in central Wagga Wagga surrounded by Tompson St (north side), Fox St (east), Forsyth St (south) and Thorne St (west).
