Barbecuing Rules

Please be cautious when barbecuing and keep a safe distance from patrons, children, and trees. Be courteous to others and please clean the area carefully before you leave. Events involving more than 20 people require a special events permit.

Our rules prohibit:

Littering and dumping of debris
Propane
Barbecuing in non-authorized areas
Barbecuing next to trees, tree roots, or buildings. Please keep ten feet or more away from any structures.
Any type of open, ground, or camp fire. Please barbecue at least three feet off the ground.

Cleaning Up

All coal and matches must be disposed of in designated red barrels. Please do not place anything flammable in a regular litter barrel. Use water to extinguish hot coals. Improperly dumped coals or matches can do major damage to our parks.
