From Parks ACT...
Telopea Park is an eight hectare park in Barton with picnic and playground areas, cycle and pedestrian paths, public toilets and barbecues. It features an informal mix of mature exotic and native trees, and is a popular venue for family picnics.
Created in 1922, Telopea Park takes its name from the floral emblem of New South Wales. Its informal evergreen/deciduous landscape character and mature trees make it a strong attraction to pedestrians and cyclists from nearby residences, the Kingston and Manuka shopping centers and suburbs further away.

From the map, there is a Y into Telopea park more or less opposite Currie Cres. There appears to be a playground on the left side and a BBQ on the right side, and possibly the toilets are there. Meeting at the BBQ sounds like a plan. If anyone can verify any of this, I would be happy. But it looks like there is shade and amenities.
MEET THERE AT 10am on 9th December.
