The best New York parks for BBQs and picnics

The unofficial beginning of summer is here, which means it's time to fire up the grill

Memorial Day marks the unofficial beginning of the summer season, which means its time to start scouting the best spots for a good old-fashioned cookout. Don'y let lack of access to a backyard hold you back: There are plenty of spaces within New York City's parks where you can get the grill fired up for some good food and fun. We've done the legwork for you and compiled this map of 40 places where you can grill (and quite possibly chill) across NYC. If we missed a spot, let us know.
