NELSON PARK

Public BBQ

Tucked away in the regional heart of Forbes, Nelson Park offers one of those unpretentious barbecue setups that actually delivers. The covered picnic tables provide blessed relief from the NSW sun, while children can burn off energy at the adjacent playground – a thoughtful arrangement that keeps parents sane during longer lunch stops. The facilities are practical rather than flash, with clean toilets positioned close enough to matter but far enough to maintain the outdoor dining atmosphere. It's the sort of no-nonsense spot where families can settle in for a proper feed without fuss, making it a reliable choice for road-trippers crossing the Central West.
