BOTANIC GARDENS

Public BBQ

Sale Botanic Gardens serves as both a convenient stopover for Melbourne-to-Lakes Entrance travellers and a destination worth lingering at. The gardens unfold along meandering pathways that weave between formal plantings and bush trails extending toward the lake. Families gravitate toward the impressive playground, designed for various abilities and ages, while the nearby sheltered barbecue areas and clean toilets make extended visits comfortable. The gardens' wildlife provides unexpected entertainment - peacocks roam freely, including striking white and blue specimens that prove surprisingly approachable rather than aggressive. Birdwatchers find abundant species around the lake areas, creating a peaceful atmosphere for contemplative walks. Cultural and historical sites dot the grounds, adding educational value to recreational visits. Well-maintained facilities include newer barbecue equipment, picnic tables, and even a tennis court. The gardens' proximity to Sale's town centre, combined with ample space and diverse plantings, makes this botanical garden a practical choice for family outings and nature appreciation alike.
