Picnic Tables in Central Park
Looking for somewhere with a table to sit and enjoy your picnic? There are only three places in Central Park where you can find picnic tables: Umpire Rock, Arthur Ross Pinetum, and the Great Hill. However, before you head out and try to snag a seat at one, it's important to note that these locations are in high demand and typically reserved early in the season. The use of tables and chairs are otherwise not permitted in Central Park, but if you must have a table for your meal, you can always head to one of the many Restaurants in Central Park.
