JOHN PATTERSON PARK

Public BBQ

This northside Brisbane park offers a practical family destination with dual barbecues nestled under covered shelters alongside picnic tables. The playground equipment caters to various ages, though toddlers receive particular attention with dedicated swings and ample open space for energetic exploration. One peculiar characteristic defines the site: a tree has claimed dominion over one barbecue, creating a perpetual cleaning challenge that adds character while reducing functionality. The council maintains the grounds diligently, with equipment repairs typically completed within hours of reported issues. Visitors should note the absence of toilet facilities, which requires advance planning for longer stays. The surrounding area carries a slightly rough edge, though this doesn't detract from the park's utility.
