SIMPSON PARK

Public BBQ

Tucked away on Simpson Avenue, this compact park punches above its weight for families with young kids and dog owners. The fully fenced dog area is a genuine winner - complete with water tap, doggy bags, and enough space for a proper game of fetch under the evening lights. The electric BBQ facilities make it surprisingly practical for impromptu picnics, though you'll want to keep expectations modest. The playground suits the under-fives perfectly, with newer swings that show recent attention, even if other equipment could use a spruce-up. The grassed areas are generally well-maintained, and the thoughtful lighting means evening visits are perfectly feasible. Toilets are available, though their condition seems to vary considerably depending on when you visit. It's the sort of neighbourhood gem that delivers exactly what busy families need - safe, functional, and refreshingly unpretentious.
