CHECK OUT BAREFOOT'N BBQ'N CONCESSION STAND!!

The Community Center features an independently run concession stand. BAREFOOT'N BBQ'N is open for business and ready to serve you from April through October (weather permitting). In addition to offering patrons a variety of reasonably priced daily menu items such as chili dogs, burgers, mozzarella sticks, and french fries. BAREFOOT'N BBQ'N will also offer menu items such as pit beef and ham, half chickens, and half racks of ribs during special events. Hours of operation are generally noon until 7 pm at the Community Center pool and some weekday evening hours at Worton Park, weather permitting.

Thinking about having a *private/group pool party at the Community Center pool? BAREFOOT'N BBQ'N offers discounted private catering for events of all sizes. Pre-arranged *group parties are permitted to bring cake and ice cream inside the pool gates for scheduled events. Food and drink packages must be arranged directly through the concession stand to secure use of the “party zone” in the designated grass area. Accommodations for *group events during public hours as well as outside of public hours are available. Please call 410-937-3587 or 410-920-4449 for more information.

*Group reservations for admittance to the pool are separate from concession arrangements and must be secured in advance with Parks and Recreation. Groups of 15 or more must make arrangements at least one week prior to the desired date. Depending on the group size, groups may be required to reserve the pool as a private rental outside of public hours. Call 410-778-1957 or email info@KentParksAndRec.org for more information.
