EMERALD LAKES PARKLANDS

Public BBQ

Emerald Lakes Parklands reveals itself as one of those rare suburban gems that manages to feel both accessible and genuinely restorative. The centrepiece lake draws you into a gentle circuit walk that's mercifully level. What strikes you immediately is the thoughtful balance: enough concrete pathways to accommodate prams and wheelchairs, yet sufficient grassy expanses for families and dog walkers. The birdlife provides genuine entertainment, with fish occasionally launching themselves skyward. Facilities include a playground and adequate parking - perfect for weekend barbecues with a view.
