BBQ areas
Two designated barbecue areas have been created featuring specially-modified picnic tables with facilities for disposable barbecues.
The areas also include bespoke heat-proof bins for disposing of metal barbecues safely.
The designated areas are at Grenadier Grove (next to the Botanical Gardens) and near the duck ponds, and can be found on maps around the park. Barbecues must only be used in the designated areas and people using them elsewhere in the park will be asked to extinguish them.
Users are also reminded to dispose of their BBQs and other rubbish properly and ensure that children and pets are supervised at all times in these areas.
Please note that BBQs are still prohibited in other parks throughout Bath and North East Somerset.
