As we noted, they are closing the running track for repairs on March 19. Now we have some good news: the park is getting picnic tables and grills this spring. Given this terrible weather we’ve been having, we can’t wait!

The city is gifting McCarren Park with new barbecues and picnic tables ahead of the summer season so its patrons can finally have their perfectly seared burgers and a place to eat them, too…

The agency is coughing up more than $50,000 to install nine “double-header” grills that hold twice as much meat, fish, or vegetables than the standard variety, along with 18 picnic tables, three charcoal-disposal bins, and two additional garbage containers, all of which will be placed in three designated areas within the meadow that straddles Williamsburg and Greenpoint, according to a spokeswoman, who said park-goers have already been hauling their own grilling equipment to the lawn for a long time.

    Who will clean up after grilling? The park needs park rangers to make sure the park remains clean.
