Come out for a Halloween Picnic on October 31^st in Riverside Park at the South Lawn (74th & Riverside Dr) from 12:00-2:30pm. Stop by with friends and family and meet others from the Cornell community. As part of the programming, we’ll have:

• Arts & Crafts – we’ll feature several entertaining stations featuring Halloween themes where you can tap into your creative spirit 
• Interactive Games – Enjoy Cornhole, Spike Ball, Throwing Strikes, Kadima, and PaddleBoard games.  You can also bring your own sports equipment to throw a ball around. And there are basketball courts right next to our space for more team oriented athletics. 
• Leisurely Activities – If you want to do something more casual, we’ll have picnic blanket recreations featuring card games (e.g. – playing cards, Uno, Would You Rather, Taco/Cat, Monopoly Deal) and board games (e.g., Scrabble, Sorry, Connect 4) . Try them out or learn them together with other Cornellians. You can also bring your own board games and gather other players for more fun.
• Playgrounds & Dog Runs Nearby – Bring your kids and furry friends along.  There are nearby dog runs (separate for small dogs and large dogs) and Neufeld (Elephant) Playground – both contiguous to our picnic area. 
• Free Candy! – What would Halloween be without candy?  We’ll have a lot to give out – with bigger treats for best costume and the greatest Halloween spirit. Indulge your sweet tooth with some early trick or treating.

It’ll be a great day to meet others – with activities that offer something for everyone! All you need is a blanket and some snacks.
