Picnics
|
Spreading a blanket or sheet down for a picnic is a wonderful way to enjoy Central Park.
For a small gathering with a handful of people, all you need to do is pick a spot and pack your picnic basket, then you are good to go.
Favorite picnic locales in the park include the Conservatory Garden, the Bow Bridge, Strawberry Fields, the Great Lawn and the Sheep Meadow.

(Note that while usually a staple of picnicking, barbecuing is not permitted in Central Park).

If you are looking to plan a larger-scale picnic, please contact us for help from our tour and event planning teams with putting together a custom event.
You can also check with the New York Department of Parks and Recreation to obtain a permit and plan your own big picnic. Parties of more than 20 people require a special permit which must be obtained in advance. In addition, factors including planned activities, location within the park, use of tables and chairs and others, also determine whether a permit is needed.
