BLACK MOUNTAIN PENINSULA

Public BBQ

Black Mountain Peninsula offers that rare combination of urban convenience and genuine tranquility that Canberra does surprisingly well. Perched on Lake Burley Griffin with water wrapping around three sides, the free BBQ facilities are properly maintained. There's something deeply satisfying about grilling lunch while watching kayakers paddle past against the backdrop of the city skyline. The little beach provides a refreshing dip on warm days. What strikes you most is the thoughtful layout: shaded picnic areas, walking tracks that lead somewhere interesting, and enough parking that you're not circling like a vulture. The presence of paddle boards for hire and an aqua park suggests someone understands that a good public space should offer more than just grass and a view.
