Montrose Road Park

Down by the river in Montrose, this spot is genuinely one of those places locals keep to themselves. The foreshore walk is flat and easy, great for pushing a pram or just stretching your legs without any drama. BBQ facilities are actually clean here — which, honestly, can’t be said for everywhere — and the toilets are well maintained too. It’s the kind of park where you can let the kids run around without hovering over them the whole time, and the river backdrop makes it feel a lot more special than your average suburban green space.
