Who Gives A Shit: Prospect Park BBQ Rules

Memorial Day brings summer. Summer brings barbecues in Prospect Park. Barbecues in Prospect Park bring a lot of a red tape. Here are some of the park’s rules, courtesy of their website:
-
Barbecuing is only permitted in designated areas
-
Fires must be contained in grills that are raised at least two feet above the ground
-
Please do not move picnic tables
-
Groups of more than 20 people require a permit.
And don’t forget three rules that aren’t listed there because they’re actually laws we’re expected to follow: no booze, no smoking and no “smoking.”
Does anyone really give a shit? I never have. Perhaps it’s simply because I’m a degenerate with no regards for laws, let alone rules. I just can’t think of anything I’d find more boring than grilling on a nice summer day without being really, really drunk and pissing in the bushes. Certainly you can’t expect me to be sober nor measure how far above the ground my grill is. Looking on a map to find a “designated area” is way too much more work than I’m ever going to do in preparation for anything, ever. Ask my wife.
But again, I’m a degenerate and so on. How about you, though? When’s the last time you went to a bbq in the park and bothered to find a correct spot for the grill? Or not bring beer and liquor? At the very least, you’ve moved a picnic table, right? Right?
