MT LOUISA PARK

Public BBQ

Mount Louisa's neighbourhood gem offers a surprisingly well-rounded experience for families and dog owners alike. The park strikes that rare balance between practical amenities and genuine charm, though visitors should plan their timing carefully. The generous shade coverage makes it genuinely comfortable during Townsville's intense heat - something that can't be said for every local park. The off-leash dog area draws a devoted morning crowd of locals, creating an unexpectedly social atmosphere before 9am. Families appreciate the sand-based playground surface, which provides proper safety cushioning, while the BBQ facilities and toilets (open until 6pm) handle the practical necessities. A coffee van operates weekdays from 6am to noon, transforming early mornings into something approaching civilized. The sports fields add energy on match days, though the atmosphere remains pleasantly low-key most times.
