ARTHUR EARLE PARK

Public BBQ

Arthur Earle Park offers a surprisingly diverse riverside experience along the Nerang River, though visitors should be prepared for mixed conditions. The park's towering fig trees provide magnificent shade across expansive grassy areas, while the double boat ramp draws fishing enthusiasts and water sports lovers. Skateboarders rave about one of the Gold Coast's finest bowl designs, with challenging lines that keep experienced riders engaged. Families appreciate the well-equipped playground and BBQ facilities, though the presence of bat droppings around certain areas can create unpleasant odours. Clean public toilets and abundant trailer parking make extended visits practical. The park extends beneath the M1 motorway along a riverside walking path, culminating at a small deck with river views. While generally peaceful and uncrowded, mosquitoes can be bothersome near the playground areas, so repellent proves essential. The combination of recreational facilities - from skating and boating to barbecuing and children's play - creates an appealing destination when nature cooperates with cleanliness.
