Most condominium units have a common free to use area where all owners can get to do the things they used to do when they owned single housing units. Barbecues and other outdoor activities can be conducted safely without interfering with the rest of the tenants/owners. They can be quite booked but all owners should have equal opportunities when it comes to usage which is usually done with advanced bookings through the association or management. There are rules as to how long one has full access to these areas which can be asides other recreational facilities such as the pool and playgrounds. Barbecues are often disouraged or disallowed in condo units themselves for the smoke and fire hazards they pose. But in these designated areas, one can do so withoiut much worry. You can even use the facility for family gatherings but you would have to arrange for exclusive access to the space so you don’t get into problems with your neighbors.
