FORREST AVENUE RESERVE

Public BBQ

Perched strategically at Phillip Island's gateway, Forrest Avenue Reserve offers a refreshing alternative to the busier San Remo park across the bridge. This expansive open reserve welcomes large gatherings with well-positioned BBQ facilities nestled under decent shelter, complemented by picnic tables scattered throughout the grounds. The reserve's crown jewel remains its stunning sea views, while practical amenities include clean public toilets and a modern bottle refilling station. Families with primary-age children gravitate toward the playground and temporary skate park, though both sit rather exposed to the elements. A basketball court and substantial grass areas provide additional recreation options, with a gazebo offering respite from Phillip Island's notorious winds.
