Want to give your child a new experience of a birthday party ? How about planning a birthday party in a park? A simple playground party at the park can be a laid-back and fun experience. In fact, birthday party with the funpad at the park was one of people’s easiest and most enjoyable parties yet. However, a successful park birthday party does rely on a little forethought on your behalf. Here are few tips for a great birthday party at the park!

Tips of planning birthday party in a park

RESERVE YOUR PARTY AREA IN ADVANCE

You will likely have to go through your city’s parks department. Be prepared to pay a fee for reserving the area. If your park has multiple pavilions, consider which is best suited for your party. For instance, do you want the pavilion nearest the playground even though if may be the smallest? Or would you be better off with the largest one on the property though it may be the furthest from the playground?

Consider the time that would make the most sense for your birthday party theme. Also keep in mind whether you wish to serve a meal or not when you plan your time frame. If your time will run into 11:00 to 1:00 or 5:00 to 7:00, be aware your guests may assume a meal will be provided. If you wish to serve cake and snacks only, an earlier morning time or mid-afternoon time would probably be best.

Get clear details from the person you talk with when reserving the park as to how early you are allowed to arrive for set up and how late you are allowed to stay for clean up. It is possible the park will reserve your area with back-to-back events. You need to be informed on your full allowable time – from arrival to departure. It is also worth calling back a second time the week of your event to double-check that everything is still a go. Having a birthday party at the park means you may not feel you have a go-to person to talk to. You may feel better by calling and confirming a second time.

KEEP THE DECOR SIMPLE

It’s a park, and you are having a playground birthday party. You will already be competing with the beauty of nature. As you gather the decor you do wish to take, collect everything in one box in your home and designate it as the decor. Designate a tub want to take for party decor (balloons, candles, banners), simply drop them it. Be sure to pack twine, multiple kinds of tape, etc. for hanging things.

KEEP THE FOOD SIMPLE

You can serve pre-wrapped sandwiches or hot dogs in a slow cooker with small bags of chips are easy and appropriate for a birthday party at the park. In fact, you can teamed up with some other bloggers to bring you food ideas for a birthday party! There are some great ideas there!

Use pre-cut foil sheets to easily wrap things for grab and go

BUY TABLECLOTH CLIPS FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY IN A PARK

You will want to have tablecloth clips to help hold your plastic or cloth tablecloths in place if it gets windy.

I bought mine last year, and they have been used more times than I can count already. I use eight per table – one in each corner and one in each middle area. Nothing can annoy outdoor playground party guests more than air-born tablecloths.

If your park doesn’t have tables, and you will be putting blankets on the ground, come up with a plan for how those blankets will stay on the ground and not fly around

IF YOUR PARK HAS A PAVILION, VISIT IT AHEAD OF TIME

Our park has a pavilion which I visited ahead of time. You will want to check for things such as electric outlets, nails or hooks on posts (for hanging banners and buntings), the number of seats for guests, how many trash cans, a water faucet nearby for rinsing things off, etc. Take pictures on your phone so you can review once you are home. The more you know about the party area, the more precise you can get with your decoration planning.

CONSIDER BRINGING A SECOND VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT THINGS HOME

If you are expecting a lot of guests (who are bringing gifts), you may want to have plans for a second vehicle to help transport things home. – If your guests will be bringing gifts, you will be hauling home more than you brought. Have a plan for how you will get these things back to your house after your party in the park.

BRING TRASH BAGS WITH YOU TO YOUR PLAYGROUND BIRTHDAY PARTY IN A PARK

Don’t rely only on the permanent trash cans at the park. It is possible those cans might already be full or near full when you arrive for your party.
