Hey, does anyone know where is possible to make a BBQ in rotterdam (in a public park...), for example I saw a place in kralingen near the lake but I'm not sure it's possible there.

hi, it's not really very common in The Netherlands to take a barbecue to a public space. The Kralingse Plas could be a good area but you may have to comply to safety rules.

If I were you, I'd ask at the City Council:
info@rotterdam.nl

or specifically at the Council of Kralingen-Crooswijk:
deelgemeente@kc.rotterdam.nl

Hang on! I found your information:

Translation

Barbecueing is allowed in the Kralingse Bos, as long as there is no danger or any inconvenience to the surroundings (Law: art.5.4.1, lid4, onder d, APV) and additionally in compliance with further rules and also complying with other people who are there. The mayor has the right to forbid barbecueing when there's draught or danger of fire.


Rules

· At least 2 metres distances from trees and shrubs

· Waste should be put in the waste baskets

· Hot coals may not be left on the grass but have to be put in special coal containers,

· The barbecue must be put on a stable ground

· The source of heat must not be put on the ground, at least 10 cm above ground

· Directions by police and fire brigade must be followed up

· You need a permit if you have a barbecue for more than 20 people

· Open fire is forbidden

· Mind the children

For easy reference, I made this into a tip with some additional info:
