DREVESEN PARK

Public BBQ

Drevesen Park sits like a green jewel beside Manly's foreshore, where the bay views alone justify the visit. The BBQ facilities nestle conveniently near a sensational playground that's weathered storms and cyclones with remarkable resilience - clearly built by people who understand Queensland weather. What strikes you immediately is how thoughtfully laid out everything is: barbecue areas within easy reach of toilets and shaded seating, making family gatherings refreshingly stress-free. The coffee van adds an unexpected touch of civilisation, serving proper cups while you watch the water. Though the wind can be brisk enough to send napkins flying, it's precisely this exposed position that delivers those magnificent bay views. Whether you're planning a small wedding or just need somewhere the kids can burn energy while lunch sizzles, this park delivers without the usual compromises. Street parking proves surprisingly generous on weekdays, and the expansive lawns accommodate everything from Zumba classes to birthday parties with room to spare.
