Why it's worth checking out
Pratten Park sits on Old Burleigh Road at Broadbeach, one of the Gold Coast's premier dining and beachside precincts. A pleasant green space right in the heart of the action, it's just a short stroll from the beach, the restaurants of Broadbeach and the buzz of the surrounding area — a handy spot to relax between the sand and the cafes.
The appeal is that combination of an easy, central location and open green space, ideal for a picnic, a break from the beach or a place for the kids to run around. In a busy precinct like Broadbeach, a relaxed park right in the middle of everything is a genuine asset for families and visitors.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 2,500 reviews, it's clearly a well-used and appreciated spot. The park is free and open year-round, but facilities and any events vary, and it gets busy on weekends and over holidays, so it's worth checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a casual picnic, a rest or some downtime by the coast, you can generally just turn up and enjoy the space.
