RICHARD BALLARD PARK

Public BBQ

Richard Ballard Park stretches along Goolwa's riverfront, offering commanding views across the water to Hindmarsh Island and its connecting bridge. The linear park features a playground, barbecue facilities, and toilets, with shade trees providing relief on warm days. A bike path threads through the space, making it popular with cyclists, while gym equipment caters to fitness enthusiasts. The riverside setting attracts birdwatchers and anglers, with locals and visitors alike gathering for picnics or simply watching the river traffic drift past. A coffee shop sits conveniently across the road. Well-maintained and close to the main street, the park serves as a welcoming meeting place where dog walkers, families, and those seeking a peaceful riverside pause converge along the paved pathway.
