Directions:
From the West Side: Enter Central Park on the north side of 81st and Central Park West. You will immediately come to a large tree and a drinking fountain, the path splits here. Take the right-hand (more southern) path toward the Great Lawn. Cross the Bridle Path and cross the paved road. You should see a stone building with bathrooms on your right, keep going, next you pass the Delacorte Theater where they do Shakespeare in the Park. Then you should be at the southern tip of the Great Lawn. Look to your right (south, toward the pond and Belvedere Castle) and you should see us there.
From the East side: Enter the park just south of the Metropolitan Museum. Walk to the Great Lawn and find us on the southern end as above.
 
In the event of a downpour, we may take refuge under the awnings that wrap around the Delacorte. If it is raining all day then the picnic will be held on August 29th.

Please call Aneesa at (917) 375-2584  or email her at aneesa@salganyc.org if you have any trouble finding us.

We look forward to seeing you there!
