PUFFING BILLY PARK

Public BBQ

Puffing Billy Park delivers the perfect combination of family entertainment and railway nostalgia in Emerald. This compact playground sits strategically alongside the historic steam railway line, where children can watch the famous Puffing Billy chuff past at remarkably close quarters - often multiple times during a visit. The park features essential family amenities including public barbecues, picnic tables, toilets, and an undercover gazebo area providing respite from the elements. While the playground equipment shows signs of wear and could benefit from additional shade structures, it offers enough climbing and play options to keep various age groups entertained. The location's proximity to local shops and the Belgrave bakery adds convenience for families planning extended stays. Parents particularly appreciate the partially fenced area and ample open space for children to burn energy between train sightings, making this an ideal lunch stop for those breaking their Puffing Billy journey or a destination in itself for railway-enthusiast families.
