Picnicking

Great Parks offers many picnic areas featuring shelters, picnic tables and grills, restrooms and a whole range of amenities that can include ballfields, playgrounds and horseshoe pits for park visitors to enjoy.

Many of these picnic areas are free and available for all to use on a first-come, first-served basis. These areas are generally found alongside primary park roads and will typically accommodate small groups of 20 people or less. These picnic areas can be found on the maps on each Park page.
