RATA PARK

Public BBQ

RATA PARK presents something of a disappointment for barbecue enthusiasts, though families will find decent recreational facilities. The park offers a sizable playground that keeps children entertained and provides bench seating for supervising parents. Unfortunately, what was once a BBQ-equipped destination has lost its primary draw - the barbecue facilities have been removed entirely. While the grassy expanse and play equipment make it suitable for a picnic lunch brought from elsewhere, those hoping to fire up some snags will need to look elsewhere along the Sunshine Coast. The park serves adequately as a brief stop for families with young ones, but lacks the essential barbecue infrastructure that defines a proper Australian BBQ spot.
