JAYCEE PARK

Public BBQ

Jaycee Park in Andergrove presents itself as a delightfully unpretentious family destination, the sort of place where weekend barbecues unfold beneath generous shade trees while children navigate what locals describe as an "interesting playground" - which, in Australian park parlance, suggests something refreshingly different from the standard swing-and-slide affair. The open field provides ample space for cricket impromptu and frisbee disasters, while the barbecue facilities and water tap handle the practical necessities of outdoor dining. Yet here lies the park's curious oversight: despite being clearly designed for families with young children, it lacks public toilets entirely - a planning decision that becomes particularly problematic when nature calls, as one visitor pointedly noted regarding young daughters. It's the kind of fundamental amenity gap that transforms a lovely afternoon into a strategic exercise in timing.
