Grilled
- Public barbecues are designed not to have space immediately around the hot plates to encourage sharing.
- Most coin-operated barbecues have been phased out owing to the costs of vandalism by thieves.
- Barbecues tend to replaced every 10 to 15 years.
- Councils clean the barbecues at about 6am every day.
Communities self-manage the grills, the tacit rules being:
- Clean up after yourself: Scrape material off with a spatula, wipe down with paper towels
- Queue: There may be a waiting line for the grill, talk with other park users to check
- Team up: Share hotplates and picnic areas with others
