Parkwood Tavern is a welcoming family-friendly spot where parents can enjoy a relaxed meal while kids are entertained—think outdoor picnic tables, a grassy play area, and a laid-back vibe perfect for all ages. **What to Bring** - A hat and sunscreen for sunny days - A change of clothes (if your little one loves the play area) - A small toy or book to keep them busy while waiting for food **Best Age Range** 2–12 years **Good to Know** The tavern has a dedicated kids’ menu with smaller portions and simple, tasty meals. The outdoor space is shaded and spacious, making it easy to keep an eye on the kids while you unwind. **Nearby** - Nerang State School Playground (5-minute drive) - Gold Coast Aquatic Centre (7-minute drive) - Carrara Markets (if visiting on a Sunday) **Tips From Other Parents** Bring a portable fan or cooling towel in summer—Gold Coast humidity can sneak up on you! The tavern staff are great with kids, so don’t hesitate to ask for extra napkins or a high chair.
