Summer is a time for picnics. Looking for the best patch of grass to spread out when you get to WSP with your blanket? We’ve got the inside scoop on our top 5 favorite picnic spots.

#1 – The lawn with the prime view

Top of the list is the SW lawn, it’s got something for everyone. If you’re looking for a bit of shade, head under the leafy trees. Or if you’re looking to bake in the summer sun, spread out in the middle for some unobstructed rays. Wherever you set up, you should have a spectacular view of the Arch and Fountain.

# 2 – IN FRONT OF THE PETANQUE COURT

Offering an equally stunning view of the Arch and Fountain as #1, our second pick boasts a lush green canopy to protect you from the sun, or more dappled light if that’s your preference. Plus you have the added bonus of potential entertainment from the players behind you.

#3 – THE NW LAWN

The biggest, recently renovated, lawn in the Park has plenty of room here for you to spread out. If you face south, you can people-watch in Fountain Plaza while soaking up some rays.

#4 – BEHIND THE STAGE

The perfect spot if you want to be a bit removed from the hustle and bustle in the middle of the Park. And plenty of shade for those looking to stay out of the sun!

#5 – THE PLAY HILLS

Best for those with children, spreading out here gives adults the perfect chance to chat while kids occupy themselves on the unique cabling play feature.
