ROTARY PARK

Public BBQ

Rotary Park occupies a prime waterside position on the Moyne River's eastern bank, delivering Port Fairy's most atmospheric barbecue experience. The Sunday noon cannon firing adds theatrical flair to picnics, while passing boats provide endless entertainment as they navigate toward the open ocean. Historical elements including original fort cannons create an educational backdrop that children find surprisingly engaging. The elevated barbecue area captures river breezes perfectly, with nearby picnic tables strategically positioned for optimal water views. Short walking paths connect to Shelly Beach, extending recreational possibilities beyond the immediate park boundaries. Convenient parking eliminates the usual coastal access frustrations, making this location particularly appealing for families carrying barbecue equipment and supplies. The combination of historical significance, scenic beauty, and practical facilities creates a memorable setting that transforms ordinary family gatherings into special occasions worth repeating.
