BRENS DRIVE

Public BBQ

Tucked away in Parkville, this modest barbecue spot embodies the no-frills approach that sometimes works best. The electric barbecue proves surprisingly reliable,a pleasant discovery when you're wondering if council equipment will actually function. What strikes you immediately is the refreshing honesty of the place: no pretense about amenities that don't exist. You'll want to pack your own water and plan for rubbish removal, as the site operates on a strictly BYO basis. There's no shelter either, so check the weather before committing. It's the sort of place that rewards the prepared visitor while quietly testing the optimistic. For a straightforward outdoor cooking experience without the bells and whistles, it delivers exactly what's advertised,functional barbecue facilities in a parkland setting where the main attraction is simply getting the job done.
