FIG TREE POCKET RIVERSIDE RESERVE

Public BBQ

Perched along the Brisbane River, this Fig Tree Pocket reserve has earned its reputation as a birthday party headquarters, with celebrations seemingly in constant rotation on weekends. The riverside setting delivers sweeping water views that transform an ordinary barbecue into something rather more memorable, while an expansive lawn provides the kind of open space that encourages proper running about rather than the half-hearted shuffling seen at more constrained parks. The covered picnic facilities offer refuge when Queensland's weather turns temperamental, and the onsite toilets mean fewer desperate dashes home. A pond adds an extra dimension for entertainment, particularly for younger visitors who find endless fascination in still water. The park's popularity hasn't bred territorial behaviour - quite the opposite, with a notably friendly atmosphere prevailing among the various birthday tribes and regular visitors who've claimed this riverside stretch as their weekend domain.
