Barbour Pond Park Additions draws the kind of crowd that spends a full day outside — and Smokin Zo's pulled pork and brisket are calibrated for exactly that appetite. Children's Memorial Park hosts the gatherings that matter most to Franklin Lakes families, and real slow-smoked BBQ served there says something about the occasion. After the final whistle at Bandits Rink, nothing closes out a hard skate like standing outside in the cold New Jersey air with a plate of proper smoked ribs in hand.
