You can always call and check with the city about their rules and regulations, or if they're reserved for the time you plan on using them. I'm sure you can use that area, as long as it isn't reserved.
I have seen lots of parties going on out there with bbq. Not in pavilion. Just remember to clean up every aspect of your groups usage and throw your trash away appropriately. You shouldn't have any proplems
