REG SMEAL PARK

Public BBQ

A clean, well-maintained playground in Rex Smeal Park at Port Douglas, mostly shaded and good for toddlers through to about ten - one baby swing, a big kids' swing and a nest swing, five slides with three of them enclosed, and a sand digger. Two full shelters and a few benches sit alongside, with a huge tree throwing shade over part of it, and public toilets are twenty metres away. The setting is what lifts it: a large open field with palm trees, and a fine spot to sit and watch the boats coming into the marina. Black crabs work the rocks nearby. It is at its most peaceful in the evening.
