Barbecues at our parks and reserves

We have barbecues for you to use at some of our parks and reserves. These are free, easy to use and available all year round.

How it works

All the barbecues run for about 15 to 20 minutes. If you need more time to cook, you can push the button again.

Barbecues are available on a first-in, first-served basis, and we ask that you leave them clean and tidy. They are not intended for commercial use.
