It’s beautiful weather for picnics in Central Park

I love the summer cause I get to enjoy Central Park! I love walking and hearing live music as I stroll. You can bring picnic blankets and lie down in the grass - great way to spend the afternoon.

Fun fact, they also allow dogs to run leash free before 9am! They also have occasional Samoyed Meet ups in Sheep’s Meadow!

Best locations for picnic are:

Charles A. Dana Discovery Center, Harlem Meer, Great Hill, Great Lawn, Arthur Ross Pinetum, East Meadow, Sheep Meadow
