KOORANOWA RESERVE

Public BBQ

Tucked away on Vincent Road in Smithfield Plains, Kooranowa Reserve presents itself as one of those unpretentious community gems that locals seem to have quietly claimed for their own. The barbecue facilities sit alongside sensibly placed picnic tables, creating a no-fuss setup that's clearly seen its share of family gatherings and sporting club celebrations. What strikes you immediately is the sense of community ownership here - this is a place where volunteer groups regularly organize events, transforming what might otherwise be just another suburban park into something resembling a neighborhood festival ground. The parking arrangement is mercifully straightforward, none of that circling-the-block nonsense you'd expect closer to the city. The facilities themselves are refreshingly practical rather than fancy, which seems entirely appropriate for a reserve that's clearly designed for actual use rather than Instagram photos.
