Our very popular BBQ operates daily during the summer and on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays during the spring and fall. Available on the BBQ are beef Ball Park hotdogs, Oktoberfest pork sausages, veggie burgers and veggie samosas. Starting in late July or early August, we also have available hot buttered super sweet corn on the cob.
