Picnics & Barbeques
Discover the best places to plan a picnic in a Surrey park.
Throughout Surrey there are picnic tables and picnic shelters (covered picnic tables). Both types of tables are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Help keep Surrey’s parks clean and beautiful
When planning your picnic or BBQ, choose sustainable, reusable and recyclable supplies. After your picnic or BBQ, take any extra garbage home with you.
We recommend bringing your own water and power source as needed when you use a park shelter.
Barbeques
Natural gas, propane, and charcoal briquettes are permitted if they are being used in ULC/CSA-approved devices for the particular product.
Permitted areas to barbeque
Within City parks, you can only barbeque at picnic table sites.
