LAWSON PARK

Public BBQ

Lawson Park sprawls across generous grounds where families gather around free barbecues and picnic tables beneath open skies. The playground equipment caters admirably to everyone from toddlers to early teens, though the constant hum of Point Nepean Road reminds visitors that tranquillity comes with a soundtrack of passing traffic. The barbecues - when functioning properly - provide the essential foundation for a proper Australian picnic, though visitors should check their chosen hotplate before loading it with snags. A notable absence of toilet facilities means planning ahead, with Rosebud beach offering the nearest amenities just five minutes away by car. The adjacent fenced dog park adds appeal for four-legged family members, complete with water bowls. Despite the road noise and limited parking, the park's spacious lawns and well-maintained facilities make it a practical choice for families seeking an outdoor meal with entertainment sorted.
