A cool breeze moves across the lake as the city hum fades to a readable murmur — that’s the first impression arriving at Cherry Hill for a curated luxury picnic in Central Park. Guests meet at the fountain and are led across wide lawns and elm-shaded paths to a color‑coordinated spread: low table, cushions, candles and a silk floral centerpiece framing a view of the water and passing rowboats.

History
Central Park was conceived by Olmsted and Vaux in the 1850s to provide urban green space; Cherry Hill became a favored lakeside promenade within that plan.
Conservation
High visitor use stresses lawns and shoreline — stick to established paths, remove all waste, and avoid open flames or staking decorations into turf.
Reserve your spot on the Central Park Luxury Picnic today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Meet at Cherry Hill Fountain

Bring your own food or order ahead
Food isn’t included; pre-order catering or pack finger‑friendly items that travel well in summer heat.
