A further 30 are mapped outside any named park — along foreshores, on reserves and in places OpenStreetMap has not named. They are counted in the total above but cannot be listed by name.

Public grills in North America and Europe are usually charcoal: a steel firebox on a post, with a grate you cannot adjust and no fuel provided. You bring charcoal, a lighter, tongs and a way to carry the ashes out.

They rust, they warp, and the grate is often missing. Bring a small grill grate of your own if you are cooking anything that could fall through, and give yourself forty-five minutes for coals to be ready rather than the twenty a chimney starter promises in a windless yard.

Check whether open flames are permitted before you go. Fire bans in dry months apply to charcoal in a park exactly as they do to a campfire, and the sign at the gate is the authority, not the map.
