Parklands BBQs
One of the quintessential Australian activities is the outdoor barbecue.
Centennial Parklands provides eight free electric barbecues, each with two hotplates.
Rules of use
The barbecues cannot be booked and operate on a first-come basis.
Use of the Parklands' barbecues is on a mutual responsibility basis - the Trust will maintain and keep the barbecues in working order, while users are responsible for cleaning the barbecue hotplates after use, out of respect to the next users.
If you find Parklands barbecue out-of-order, please contact the Parklands Office on (02) 9339 6699 or email info@centennialparklands.com.au
