COWAN PARK

Public BBQ

Cowan Park emerges as an unexpected suburban gem tucked within this quiet railway town. The substantial oval accommodates serious cricket and soccer matches while providing scenic bush backdrop that urban parks rarely achieve. A modern playground sits alongside, though unfenced design requires parental vigilance. Clean toilet blocks and barbecue facilities support extended family gatherings, particularly popular with travellers seeking alternatives to highway rest stops. The 10-minute walk from Cowan station makes this accessible via public transport, while the coffee shop at the street's end serves essential refreshments. River views add natural beauty to this well-rounded recreational space that punches above its weight for such a small community.
