Picnic in Your Park

Join us for a NEW fundraiser for Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Sunday, Sept. 13

It’s time to celebrate – safely!

We’re excited to launch a new way to safely celebrate our love for CVNP while practicing social distancing. The past few months have changed the way we do most things, but one thing has stayed the same – Cuyahoga Valley National Park is there for us. The eager chirps of baby birds waiting for their lunch, the calming breeze coming off the river, the kindness of a stranger smiling as they jog past – these moments have filled us with joy in a time when many of us have needed it most.

Please join us for a new, hybrid event that celebrates the many gifts of CVNP while helping to secure these offerings for generations to come.

Picnic in Your Park

Your tickets ($150/person, $100 tax deductible) include everything you need to enjoy a gourmet picnic! Just stop by the Environmental Education Center between 12-3 p.m. to get your pre-packed Conservancy picnic basket and venture straight to your favorite spot in the park.  The basket has everything you will need to enjoy your meal including a welcome mocktail, appetizers, salad, sides, entrée and dessert with appropriate utensils, napkins and plates. Don’t forget to bring along your own refillable water bottles and please remember there is no alcohol permitted on National Park Service (NPS) property.

Purchase Tickets

Accompanying your ticket will be a link for a short virtual message from our CEO Deb Yandala and CVNP Superintendent Craig Kenkel and some entertainment, Conservancy style! You will also receive some suggestions for some of the best “off the beaten path” picnicking locations. There are a limited number of picnic tables in the National Park; because of Covid 19 restrictions, we encourage you to bring your own camp chairs and/or picnic blanket to find your perfect spot.
