SPENCER PARK

Public BBQ

Spencer Park occupies a prime waterfront position beside Soldiers Point's marina, where the scent of salt air mingles with the promise of a proper barbecue. The park's generous shade provides welcome relief from the Australian sun, making it an ideal spot for families to settle in for an extended outdoor feast. Children can burn off energy at the small playground while parents prepare lunch on the BBQ facilities, with the added convenience of nearby takeaway shops for those who prefer to supplement their cooking efforts. The location's proximity to both beach and marina creates a particularly appealing atmosphere - visitors can watch boats bob in the harbour while enjoying their barbecue. Tennis courts sit adjacent to the park, though one visitor noted they require online booking and come at a premium price. The facilities earn consistent praise from visitors, and while one reviewer amusingly confirmed the absence of kangaroos, the park's other attractions more than compensate for this particular wildlife deficit.
