Barbecues in parks

Auckland City has a number of free barbecues located in its parks for use by residents and visitors to the city.

Please be aware of the following:

  • the use of the barbecues is on a first come, first served basis
  • you will need to keep a close watch on children around the barbecues and fires
  • once your meal is cooked, please move away to allow others to use the facility
  • please use the bins provided to clean up after yourselves
  • please respect and protect our plants and animals while using our parks.

Contact us if you would like more information, or to report a problem with any of the barbecues.

Use the lists below to find a barbecue in an area that suits you. Please note that you may need to bring your own (BYO) wood for some of the wood fired barbecues.
