WARRANE RESERVE

Public BBQ

Tucked away in Chatswood, Warrane Reserve proves that sometimes the best barbecue spots are the ones locals keep quietly to themselves. This compact reserve delivers a refreshingly unpretentious experience - electric BBQ hotplates that actually work, nearby toilets that don't require a trek, and enough space for the kids to burn off energy while you tend the snags. The weekday-only schedule (9am-5pm, closed weekends) initially seemed odd until I realised this creates a wonderfully peaceful midweek escape. Willoughby Council maintains the facilities properly, and the dog-friendly policy means the whole family can enjoy an afternoon out. Nothing fancy here - just reliable infrastructure and enough shade to make lunch comfortable. Perfect for those seeking a no-fuss barbecue without the weekend crowds that plague more popular spots.
