OD Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hello All,Planning a friends get together in Dulwich Park, and really want to ensure we have a great day which abides by all the rules. Looked on the Southwark website and didn't see a definitive list of the dos and don'ts for this park... can anyone help me out? Are there any rules/regulations?For example - can we have a bbq? what about music? tables and chairs?Many ThanksOD Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/66570-dulwich-park-what-are-the-dos-and-donts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jomou Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 The original question was polite and considerate. Shame that uncleglen couldn't extend the same courtesy in his response.uncleglen Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> The Bye-Laws are on the gates of the park.....I> don't think you are allowed to inflict your music> on others using the park for one thing Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/66570-dulwich-park-what-are-the-dos-and-donts/#findComment-874232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minkey Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Going off at a tangent...The mention of barbecues has jogged a memory of the charcoaled patch left behind on the Rye last week. I saw a party of people with a tray barbecue on the bowling green at Brockwell Park several years back. Seriously, what kind of people think it's OK to do that?

EDmummy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 In Australia a BBQ in the park is a very common pastime and our parks and beaches provide gas or charcoal BBQs. Shame there is not anything similar here (although in comparison, the parks are tiny and so understandable that you may not want to have BBQs).

cordsm Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Agree. Isn't London supposed to have more park space than any city in the world? 47% of the city is 'green space'!

Roye Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Definitely no barbecues or music but if you contact them they are very helpful. Hope you have a. Ice time. It's a lovely park.

Otta Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Loads of BBQs in Crystal Palace Park. But if I was taking a desposable BBQ (which I see no harm in so long as they are watched and not left lying around hot for some kid to touch) you really need to be taking a couple of bricks or rocks or anything to keep the surface off the grass or we will end up with burnt patches all over the place.
