OSSIE KEEGAN PARK

Public BBQ

Ossie Keegan Park sits quietly in Mermaid Waters like a well-kept secret that's starting to show its age. The park offers a pleasant respite with its shaded seating areas and BBQ facilities, though one can't help but notice it's looking rather tired around the edges. The playground keeps the kids entertained while parents fire up the barbie, and the location strikes that perfect balance between accessible and peaceful. Just be prepared for the local magpies during swooping season - they seem to think they own the place. The absence of public toilets means a bit of forward planning is required, but for a quiet family BBQ spot that won't break the bank, it delivers exactly what's needed without any unnecessary fuss.
