COURANCES PARK

Public BBQ

Courances Park presents a cautionary tale of municipal maintenance gone awry. What should be a family-friendly BBQ destination instead reveals the stark reality of neglected public spaces. The playground equipment shows concerning wear, with metal rods protruding dangerously from the ground,a hazard that would make any parent's heart skip a beat. The grass grows wild and untamed, suggesting council maintenance visits are as rare as a Melbourne winter heatwave. While one optimistic visitor deemed it "excellent" years ago, more recent experiences paint a picture of a park that's lost its lustre. Families seeking well-maintained BBQ facilities might find better options in neighbouring Doreen, where the standards apparently run higher. For those willing to overlook maintenance shortcomings, the park still offers basic barbecue facilities, though visitors should pack extra vigilance along with their snags and keep a close eye on children navigating the less-than-pristine play areas.
