Enjoy a day in the Park. Just relax on a blanket or enjoy the different trails, green space and children activities throughout the park. What would a day in the Park be without grilling and food?

Some picnic areas require a reservation and others are first come first serve. If you have a large group, you may want to rent one of two covered picnic pavilions.
