OCALLAGHAN PARK

Public BBQ

O'Callaghan Park emerges as Zillmere's recreational cornerstone, where families discover a sprawling complex that caters to every age and interest. The expansive grounds showcase a well-maintained football oval that doubles as the local parkrun circuit, complemented by both full-size and half-court basketball facilities enclosed within protective fencing. Young adventurers gravitate toward the compact skatepark, while the generous open spaces accommodate everything from grassroots football matches to community festivals. Parents appreciate the thoughtful safety measures, including lifeguard supervision for younger children and wheelchair-accessible pathways throughout much of the facility. The on-site cafe provides convenient refreshments, surrounded by abundant sheltered seating areas perfect for match-day spectators or casual picnickers. Ample parking eliminates arrival stress, though visitors often note the complex could benefit from clearer directional signage to navigate its various zones. The park's elevated position offers unexpected whale-watching opportunities, adding a unique coastal dimension to this comprehensive suburban sporting hub.
