Like any red-blooded American, I like a good cookout with steaks, hot dogs, and corn that I'll throw on the barbie like Bobby Flay.

And that's the flocks of people at every big park that people typically head to, like Memorial Park.

So below are six smaller parts that I think would be PERFECT for a Memorial Day cookout without the hassle of too many strangers.
