Accessibility
The park is in a sloping valley. There are many pathways through the park most of which should be accessible, and a large number of benches.
The southern end of the park is the most level area and includes the wildlife pond and the café, which is also accessible.
Many of the park's smaller entrances are gated and they could cause difficulties for some wheelchair users.
Only on-street parking is available, but there are designated accessible parking bays near to the park.
An accessible toilet is available near the play area.
Volunteering at Queen's Park
The Friends of Queen's Park is an active group of local volunteers who help the city council maintain and improve the park's facilities for everyone's enjoyment.

Queen's Park Conservation Management Plan
Working with the Friends of Queen's Park, in 2018 a draft Queen's Park Conservation Management Plan was developed and consulted on.
Following this, a project went ahead to:
- increase marginal planting in the pond
- install a dipping platform to create a new observation point over the water
- improve the experience of interacting with the wildlife
