Loyal Henry Park has a BBQ and picnic tables in its playground and BBQ area, so you can cook, eat and let the kids play without moving. Toilets are on its list, which Little Digger Park can't offer. Seating and shade areas sit with the playground and BBQ too. The park is better known for cricket, soccer and two tennis courts at Loyal Henry Oval, so the barbecue shares the grounds with players. It's the most complete stop on this page for a family lunch.

Roseville Park is the biggest of the three at 3.77 ha, and its BBQ and picnic tables sit next to the playground and the sports courts. You get seven tennis courts, a multi-purpose court that can be used for netball, and a turf wicket with two cricket nets, so there's plenty to do between meals. Toilets are listed at the park, along with a bubbler for a refill. Many shady trees give the grounds a leafy setting, and seating and shade areas are listed too. Loyal Henry Park is the more compact choice at 2.13 ha.
Little Digger Park for a quick BBQ under the trees

- Picnic tables
Little Digger Park is the smallest of the three at 0.29 ha, a small patch of grass with trees growing through it. It has a barbecue beside picnic tables, which makes it a practical stop for a casual meal. A walk down the Little Digger Track, which begins across the road and drops gently beside Moores Creek, makes a good follow-up to lunch. No toilets or playground are listed here, so it suits a quiet picnic better than a day with small children.

How we picked
Each park was judged on what it offers a picnic crowd: cooking facilities, cover, tables, toilets, play equipment for children and how much room there is. An unknown detail shows as a dash, not a guess, so a gap only means we could not confirm it. Parking and shade are shown the same way.
