Whether you spread out a blanket in the grass or use the park's picnic tables and grills, cooking out or picnicking in the park is a fun way to spend some time with friends and family. You're welcome to use your own charcoal grill, or use one of the park's grills.

For your safety, and to protect the park, there are a few things you should know about.

Prohibited:

  • Propane and tabletop grills
  • Open fires
  • Balloons
