CALEDONIAN PARK

Public BBQ

Caledonian Park in Thagoona presents itself as one of those reliably straightforward suburban barbecue spots that does exactly what it promises without unnecessary fanfare. The facilities open their gates at the admirably early hour of 6am, suggesting either remarkable civic optimism or an understanding that some families prefer their sausage sizzles before the Queensland sun reaches its full, unforgiving potential. The playground earns top marks from visitors, which speaks well of a council that recognises children's capacity for entertainment doesn't diminish simply because they're surrounded by picnic tables. The toilets, rated a practical 3.5 stars, occupy that sweet spot of public convenience - functional enough to serve their purpose without inspiring poetry. It's the sort of place where families arrive with esky in tow, claim their territory near the barbecue plates, and settle in for a few hours of pleasantly unremarkable Australian leisure.
