“The ideal place to have a BBQ with your friends in Utrecht, and you certainly won't be the only one!”

Laura

“Together with my group of friends, I have the tradition of having a barbecue every spring/summer in Griftpark, where we can sit by the water and enjoy ourselves.”

Daphne

“A beautiful park, perfect for a picnic with friends. It also has an interesting history. Until 1960, it was the most polluted place in Utrecht due to the gas factory that was built there.”
