| Parks for BBQs
Wondering if anyone has suggestions for good paks to have BBQs in. Preferably looking for one in Richmond or Burnaby or Vancouver. More family oriented, with washrooms etc, and not too crowded so there can be a bit of green space for activities.
anyone been to garry point park for bbqs? would that be a good spot?
TIA

Maybe Marine park on brunette hwy. But if you want all that i would definitely recommend peace arch. Their is tonnes of space just make sure you there early because all the picnic tables in the shade will all probably be taken up.

thanks for the suggestions! i am looking at marine park right now. Whytecliff park looks really nice, but it might be too far for some people. Thanks again!

just went to one at marine park it was chilled, esp if you have a row boat or something like that to take out to the water. theres a open grass area and a open sand area, great for playing catch and what not. and the bbq areas are covered by shades from the trees. been there twice so far

Had a company BBQ over at Ambleside Park in West Van a few years ago that I organized and it was great. Plenty of space and tables around, beach was close by so families that had kids could go swimming and there's also the pool and basketball courts near by.
Second Beach over at Stanley Park is good to. Had a company BBQ there last year and it wasn't to crowded. There was more then enough room that we set up a volleyball net up that we rented.
