Invercargill's Queens Park has won the Kiwi Choice award in the 2021 Keep New Zealand Beautiful awards.

The Invercargill City Council offered a huge thank you to everyone who voted for the park, via it's social media page last night (17th February).

This award not only represents Queens Park or the wonderful staff that nurture and help her grow. It represents you, the community of Invercargill, who allow the park to be a part of your everyday lives, they said.

The Beautiful Awards are New Zealand’s longest-running sustainability awards and have run annually since 1972.
