COCKLE CREEK

Public BBQ

Speers Point Park stands as Lake Macquarie's premiere family destination, where sprawling lakeside grounds meet exceptional facilities in a setting that regularly draws crowds for festivals, markets, and performances. The fully-fenced playground dominates with state-of-the-art climbing structures and water features that command attention for hours, surrounded by generous grassed areas ideal for picnics or barefoot games. Free barbecues anchor the experience, complemented by two on-site cafes (including Table 1, noted for its lake views and reasonable pricing), clean toilet facilities, and an outdoor gym. The park's design balances active spaces with shaded retreats beneath established trees, while paved walkways lead to Speers Point jetty and sweeping views across Cockle Bay. Events infrastructure handles everything from birthday parties to major concerts with surprising efficiency. Ample parking eliminates the usual family outing frustrations, making this a rare combination of natural beauty and practical amenities that actually delivers on its promise.
