It allows you to book for a certain time equipped places for picnics in parks subordinate to the capital's Department of Culture. Fire-fighting barbecues, coal and sand boxes, garbage bins and safety information boards are installed in these areas. For lighting fires and using barbecues outside equipped zones, citizens are fined up to 5 thousand rubles.

The service allows residents and guests of Moscow to book one slot (period of time) with a length of four hours, but this time cannot be extended and after the end of the session, the barbecue zone will need to be left. The rental price is 500 rubles. All reservations are personalized, so they cannot be transferred to someone you know.

According to booking rules, the gazebo must be vacated 10 minutes before the end of the reservation. Without prior booking, it is impossible to occupy a picnic space - park employees will check for armor. Funds from will be used to maintain the existing infrastructure of the picnic zone of the park.
