WALTER NISBET PARK

Public BBQ

Walter Nisbet Park claims a scenic oceanfront position with views stretching from Cape Pallarenda towards Rowes Bay. The park's lush, verdant grounds reflect North Queensland's tropical climate - which brings both beauty and a practical challenge. After rainfall, mosquitoes arrive in enthusiastic numbers, making insect repellent less a suggestion than a survival tool. The park caters well to families, with playground equipment for children and public toilets on-site. The coastal setting provides the quintessential backdrop for a barbecue, though visitors would be wise to pack the Aeroguard alongside the sausages. When the weather cooperates and the mozzies retreat, it's a genuinely lovely spot that showcases the region's natural appeal.
