Chill BBQ Spots & Green Lawn 🌿

The BBQ facilities at Ocean Eyre Park are well-liked, with visitors appreciating the clean barbies and nice lawn areas perfect for a family picnic or a catch-up with mates. It’s a great place to fire up the snags and enjoy a laid-back arvo outdoors. However, some reviews mention rubbish left behind and hotplates covered in melted plastic or cigarette butts, so it pays to bring a rubbish bag and clean up after yourself to keep it ripper for everyone.

Things to Keep in Mind When Visiting ⚠️

Several reviews mention issues with litter and rubbish left around the BBQ area, including melted plastic and cigarette butts on the hotplates. There’s also mention of bullying and teasing among kids, so it’s wise to supervise little ones closely. The playground equipment is described as worn and dated, so it might not be the fanciest spot for play. Bringing your own rubbish bags and visiting during quieter times could help make your visit more enjoyable.
