BBQ and Picnic

Within the foundations of The Waterworks are the family traditions of the Coromandel Community. Packing the kids in the car, chilli bins bursting with food in the boot, dogs jumping in the trunk, and off to spend the day with family and friends. We’ve been doing this for generations!

An everlasting Coromandel Tradition

The Waterworks was conceived into this community, and we are happy to share and spread the message that these beautiful traditions can carry on to everyone.

You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks as we have various BBQs spread throughout the park for your use.
