New York City parks make for an excellent venue for a birthday bash or a private party, and not a lot are more iconic than Central Park itself! Whether it’s a picnic on a warm day or a themed celebration that one’s aiming for, here are some tips to keep in mind when one’s hosting a rocking Central Park party.

Be picnic-ready
If it’s a picnic theme in mind, be consistent with the whole setting in every aspect of the event. Earthy tones in wooden elements are great for the overall design, with pops of bright colors here and there and paper flowers to accentuate the tables and backdrop. Delicious comfort food will not only keep the guests full and happy but also complement nature and the outdoors as a feast for the eyes.
Know your playgrounds
If it’s an adult party with a playground theme or an actual kid’s birthday, know where the playgrounds are. Heckscher Playground, located at mid-park near 65th St, has all the amenities from playground and picnic tables to Umpire Rock and bathrooms. There’s also the East 110th Street Playground on the northern edge as well as the semi-secret spot of the Arthur Ross Pinetum Playground, which has picnic tables and open, tree-filled spaces to roam.

Research party packages and venues
Central Park is big on wedding festivities, so find the answers you need about anything from wedding permits to photography, as well as fully customizable and all-inclusive wedding packages. Decide if you’re holding the ceremony at Wagner Cove or by the Bethesda Fountain Terrace, or if you’ll be holding a fabulous reception dinner at the Boathouse.
