When I saw this the other day it brought back wonderful memories of my childhood. My father used to drive to parks like this before he bought his first home. Why because the Landlord would not allow outdoor barbequing. So on the weekends we would drive and have a wonderful time.

Yes, August is a great time for summer barbecues and picnics. If the HOA doesn't allow barbecues, time to go to the park.

Hey Endre-that really brought back childhood memories for me to. Those summer weekends at the beach with all my cousins and family. My dad would start out making breakfast on those grills and go all the way through to dinner.

It's a great thing that should be mandatory at parks, and community areas.  It saves the hassle of dragging one of those charcoal grills out to your picnics.

Endre, I love your sweet family story.  As a child, I had picnics in the park every weekend with my grandparents.  Those are treasured memories. My grandfather loved to cook on a grill!

Endre, I remember those well!  Tonight we grilled, but in a different way.  My sister-in-law and nephew are in town visiting, so they gathered some twigs and sticks from the woods and we fired up our firepit for the first time ever in the few years we've had it.  Hot dogs and s'mores, a pretty tasty dinner :)

Hi Endre, Cooking out was a big part of my life growing up. Complete with the accident when a kid squirts lighter fluid on a small briquet fire to make it bigger. It wasn't me but my little brother will always wear the faint learning scar on his arm from the burn. These open park grills were so important for our annual reunions and all the weekend boating trips on different lakes.

Endre a park with  grills is an important community facility to highlight for those who can't have a grill at home. 

I too have some fond memories of barbecuing with friends in the park.

Bill you are lucky unfortunately here in the large metropolis of Los Angeles this is not an unusual issue with Condominiums as well as apartments.

Tamra, there are fewer and fewer family activities in this world

Michelle I agree time to go to the park:))

Laura, let us know if you find some in LI:))

Marco I have some wonderful memories of my dad barbequing after he bought his house and was so proud he did not have to go to the park anymore!

Brian I agree with you 100%!

Sharon glad you had some wonderful memories too and thank you for sharing with us.

Endre - What a great suggestion to go to a public park to BBQ if your apartment, or condo doesn't allow it. A well deserved featured post!

Endre-Where there's a will there's a way. I used to live in a neighborhood where a lot of grilling took place on the weekends. I don''t see it as much now, maybe the global warming is driving people inside.
