History

This park is named in tribute to Vera Elizabeth Lacaze who was the first woman alderman in the Toowoomba City Council.

The modernist landscape design was laid out in 1964, possibly to the design of Mr Arne Fink, a local Landscape Architect, associated with Toowoomba gardens at that time. The sweep of the main concrete path with a central garden bed, and 1960's modern light fittings provided a well-considered promenade in this corner of Queens Park.
