Well I'll kick things off with my favourite park in Townsville, which is Queens Gardens. Its just so ridiculously...green :) Heaps of shady trees and tropical plants, some hedge mazes, some avaries. Once you step through the gates you feel so seperated from the surrounding urban environment. Heres a photo of Queens Gardens from Castle Hill (click to enlarge):

Central Park is a classic, and the best IMO. Maybe I can find some pictures of parks in my country :)

Melbourne, Australia has many acres of parkland around the Central Business District, Downtown. All have their own appeal, from the grand traditional Royal Botanic Garden, Gardens with memorials, Music Bowl, Melbourne Park Tennis Centre in the former Olympic Park to Albert Park where the Grand Prix is run each year. So you can find peace and tranquility or throngs of sport fans a short distance in any direction.

QUEZON NATIONAL FOREST PARK. Just 180-km southeast of Manila in Atimonan, Quezon Province lies one of the most beautiful mountains in southern Luzon that has been declared a Game Refuge and Bird Sanctuary. The present area of the park is 984 hectares (4 sq. miles) with its highest point at 366-m above sea level.

The park has an intricate system of caves, waterfalls, springs, creeks, gorges, and ravines set against a quaint backdrop of lush greenery. The park teems with flora and fauna, from butterflies to birds and monkeys tugging along their young while crossing the street. The trees are so tall and huge that they make the zigzag road darker than it should be. The park is also the site of Pinagbanderahan, where the Filipino Revolutionaries planted the Philippine flag in their fight against the Spanish colonizers. Quezon National Forest Park encompasses the western municipalities of Atimonan, Pagbilao, and Padre Burgos. It can be reached by walking for about one hour from the road to the top of a ridge.

I know, isn't it superb. Looks so relaxing and I could go there and do homework and just enjoy the day.

The Hague, Netherlands

My personal favorite is Koekamp, near Central Station. I always refer to it as Central Park though that's not its common nickname :D
There are some very exciting high-rise projects going on in the area (near the tall buildings on the photo) so the view is going to be much improved some 5 years from now!

My second favorite is Lange Vijverberg, which isn't technically a park (more a Lane) but I treat it as such. I just love it there:

PONDS OF IXELLES
Brussels, Belgium

The ponds of Ixelles offer a unique architectural and artistic setting. They are located between the Avenues Général-de-Gaulle and Eperons-d'Or, they are an extension of the gardens of the Abbey of la Cambre. At the end of the first pond, the neoclassical façades with their triangular pediments are an original transition between the Chaussée d'Ixelles and the residential area of the ponds. On the side of the ponds, another scenery : the houses, built in 1870-1880 in an eclectic style and red bricks were designed by Victor Besme. We can also discover houses in a Flemish neo-renaissance style, art nouveau and art deco, with, as main representative, the building of the National Broadcasting Institute on the Place Flagey.

Vondelpark, Amsterdam. Without a doubt the favourite park in Amsterdam. The park was opened in 1865, and yearly, the park has around 10 million visitors.

It lies in the heart of Amsterdam, close to Museum Square, and Leidseplein. The park is surrounded bij multi-million villa's

The Clingendael Park is an old landed estate with the largest Japanese Garden in the Netherland. This is one of my favorites in The Hague because of the old trees and beatufull colours!

Zagreb has numerous beautiful parks, especially in the old part of the city. The layout of the 19th century urban core is dominated by the so called "green horseshoe", a series of 7 parks and a small botanical garden. Here are some of them:

1. Zrinjevac is the most popular of the parks on the green horsehoe and the one closest to the main city square. It features 3 fountains, a music pavillon and numerous busts of famous Croats. The park is surounded by fine public buildings, including the Archeological Museum and the Croatian Academy of Arts and Science

2. King Tomislav Square is located on the SE edge of the horseshoe, in front of the Main Rail Station. It is named after the first Croatian king and features an art pavillon on the northen edge, a large fountain and the statue of King Tomislav.

3. Botanical gardens
Small, but beautiful, Zagreb Botanical Garden (Botanički vrt) was founded in 1890 and maintained by the College of Natural Sciences. Its area covers 4.7 hectares and it was created as an English-style garden. The collection contains over 10 000 plant species of which 1800 are tropical plants from all over the word.

On the eastern edge of the city centre, approximately 2,7 miles from the main square, lies the large forest-park Maksimir. It was founded in 1787 by the bishop Maksimilijan Vrhovec and is the oldest public park in SE Europe ( although technically Zagreb belongs to Central Europe ). Bishop envisaged a French-style park with geometrical layout, but it was redesigned by the Bishop Juraj Haulik who created an English-style park of magnificant beauty, dubbed "Little Versailles" by the guests from Vienna. A ZOO was added in 1925.
