We would like to provide a BBQ for our entrants after the event. Can you suggest anywhere where we can set up the barbie without having to carry it too far. Is the MCG carpark likely to be open?
Our team is “For Ryno”, the charity is Fight MND.
Hi Elaine,
Yarra Park is always open to pedestrians, however Alexandra Gardens near Fed Square might be closer for you. There are a number of BBQ’s along the Yarra if you want to use those. No bookings are required.
Kind regards,
Jess
