KJ MEMORIAL PARK

Public BBQ

KJ Memorial Park in Port Augusta sits quietly behind McDonald's, offering weary travelers a slice of suburban tranquility in the crossroads of Australia. The expansive green lawns stretch invitingly, punctuated by shaded BBQ areas and picnic tables that have witnessed countless family gatherings. A playground anchors the space, though its equipment favours older children over toddlers,a design quirk that leaves parents juggling supervision duties. The undercover areas provide blessed relief from the outback sun, while public toilets serve their purpose with varying degrees of enthusiasm. What makes this park particularly useful is its strategic location: McDonald's beckons within a five-minute walk, and a Caltex servo nearby ensures no essential forgotten. Dog owners appreciate the open spaces, and families find ample room for children to burn off road trip energy. Despite whispers that standards have slipped from earlier glory days, the park continues functioning as Port Augusta's dependable family pit-stop,a place where barbecues sizzle, kids play, and parents briefly pretend they're not in the middle of nowhere.
