Please be advised that currently only one of the three barbecues at the Drakesbrook Weir Park is currently in working order. Due to the age of the units it is no longer possible to source parts to repair them. If you intend cooking while at the site it may be worth bringing along your own cooking appliance as the working barbecue may be in use by other patrons.
