RON BARASSI PARK

Public BBQ

Ron Barassi Park offers a surprisingly expansive green sanctuary in Docklands, with sweeping CBD views that make it worth the visit despite the area's sterile reputation. The wide-open spaces accommodate weekend cricket and soccer matches, though visitors should note the grounds can look considerably worse for wear after social sports events. Facilities include BBQ areas, a space-themed playground with a modest splash area that keeps children entertained, and recently upgraded public toilets. Ample parking makes access straightforward except during Marvel Stadium events, and the walking paths provide pleasant strolls with photogenic vantage points of the city skyline. The park functions well for family picnics, light exercise, and dog walking, though construction work occasionally stirs up dust. While some locals dismiss Docklands entirely, this particular green space delivers genuine recreational value on sunny days when the open lawns and relaxed atmosphere offer a proper escape from urban density.
