Ridgeville Park District Grilling Information
General grilling reservations are strongly preferred because it reduces conflict with scheduled park events.
Parties of 15 or more must make a reservation (see above). Reservation fees may apply, depending on party needs.
Parties of 15 of more reserve the grilling area for the specific time approved by Ridgeville Park District.
All functions must abide by Ridgeville Park District and the City of Evanston Ordinance (no alcohol).
Grilling is allowed at Elks and Kamen East Park’s grilling area in designated areas during park hours (9 am to 9 pm), from May 1st to September 30th.
Grilling is allowed only in the posted, designated grilling area. Grilling areas have a coal receptacle, picnic table, and trash can.
Persons wishing to grill will need to bring their own grills. The park district does not currently provide grills.
Grills must be attended by an adult the entire time they are burning.
Please be sure to supervise children around grilling.
Do not dispose of coals anywhere besides the receptacle. Hot coals must first be doused with water before disposal.
Please dispose of all trash in recyclables in respective containers.
