The Suburb

The park is surrounded by houses on three sides. Many on the eastern side date from the Victorian era. Those on the northern and southern sides are mainly Federation.

History

Queens Park takes its name from the park of the same name on its southern border.

Once part of Bondi Junction, the suburb's name was officially recognised in 1992. A significant number of longer-term residents, however, in the Queens Park area, still refer to their suburb as Bondi Junction. This may be because Queens Park is a relatively new and not widely known suburb throughout Sydney, compared to the instantly recognisable name of Bondi Junction.
