From the Wikipedia article

Queen's Park is a roughly circular 22 acres (8.9 ha) Victorian park lying on sloping ground to the north-west of Bolton town centre, in Greater Manchester, England. Opened as Bolton Park on 24 May 1866 by Lord Bradford it was renamed in 1897 in honour of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The park contains flowerbeds, duck ponds, and a children's play area and the River Croal runs through its lower area.

The entrance lodge, now a cafe, is also a listed building, as is the cenotaph.
