Rockwell Park

About this place
Bristol's Code of Ordinances Sec. 16-16 bans any open fire including wood or charcoal grills or barbecues on park property. Propane/gas grills are not named separately in the ordinance, so their status is genuinely ambiguous — confirm with Bristol Parks & Rec before bringing one.
