Attending a Picnic

Picnics in the park are open to all residents and their guests. Please bring a side dish or dessert, and $3/person for the kitty. Also remember to bring your own drinks, as well as blankets and/or lawn chairs. Plates, utensils and napkins are provided, but bringing your own is also greatly appreciated!

Keep in mind that our picnics are held in a public city park, in which alchoholic beverages are not permitted. Please use discretion.

No dogs please.
