HENRY LAWSON PARK

Public BBQ

Henry Lawson Park sits quietly along the water's edge in Abbotsford, offering one of those unexpectedly peaceful barbecue spots that locals seem to guard as their own secret. The electric hotplates work reliably enough, though you'll want to plan ahead - there are no public toilets, which strikes me as an oversight for such a well-appointed park. The real draw here is the waterfront setting. When the tide retreats, you can wander down to the shore, and the fishing appears decent if that's your inclination. Children gravitate toward the playground while adults appreciate the expansive grass areas perfect for a proper kick-about. The park's greatest asset might be its tranquility - surprisingly hushed for a Sydney location. Multiple seating areas provide options whether you prefer shade or that lovely water view.
