Havenstoke Park is a beautiful community space that we are all fortunate to enjoy and share, particularly as a space to cool down in and meet friends. 

Currently, BBQs are permitted in the park, provided they are used safely, are raised off the ground, do not come into direct contact with the grass or other surfaces, and the area is left clean and free from damage.

Unfortunately, we have recently seen evidence of disposable BBQs being used in a way that has damaged the grass, and with the current hot and dry weather, this has raised concerns about the increased risk of fire.

Please help us to protect Havenstoke Park so that it can continue to be enjoyed by everyone. Any damage to the park resulting from BBQ use may mean to no barbeques could  be used in the future. 

If you do choose to take a BBQ to Havenstoke Park, please ensure you use it safely and responsibly, do not put yourself, others, or the park at risk, and dispose of all waste, including used BBQs, in your own bin.
