Frequently Asked Question
Can I bring my own barbecue to Centennial Parklands while the Parklands’ barbecues are being upgraded?
Yes, you can bring in portable barbecues with legs only (barbecues that sit on the grass are not permitted), unless there is a total fire ban in place. Dumping hot coals, lighting fires and lighting fireworks are all prohibited in the Parklands. Fines may apply.
Can you book/reserve a barbecue for special occasions?
Our barbecues cannot be booked, as they operate on a first come, first serve basis. Users are expected to clean the hotplates after use so they can be ready for the next user. Our responsibility is to maintain the Parklands barbeques and keep them in working order, which is why we will be upgrading them over the month.
