NORMAN BUCHAN PARK

Public BBQ

Norman Buchan Park sits in a natural valley in Bardon, creating a spacious green refuge that draws a loyal following of locals and their four-legged companions. The park's generous proportions provide ample room for dogs to roam freely, while thoughtful amenities like complimentary waste bags and water bowls demonstrate genuine care for canine visitors. Families find plenty to appreciate here, with a well-designed playground that keeps children entertained while parents enjoy the shaded picnic tables and barbecue facilities. The Sunday farmers market transforms the space into a vibrant community hub, offering everything from quality Thai cuisine to local produce, with nearby Goodfolk Cafe providing excellent coffee for those seeking caffeinated accompaniment. The park's valley location brings both charm and occasional challenges - flooding can occur during heavy rains. Parking remains limited, making this more of a neighbourhood gem than a destination park. An unexpected bonus awaits fitness enthusiasts: a free outdoor weight gym adds practical appeal for those combining exercise with fresh air. The genuine friendliness of regular visitors creates a welcoming atmosphere that reflects Bardon's strong community spirit.
