Welcome to a sketch meet up that also includes a picnic option. 
We will meet for our hybrid event, on a gentle grass slope and under large shade trees, between the Bandshell (outdoor stage) and the large Picnic Shelter #1. A children’s playground is nearby too. 
There might be a live music event nearby, with seating, on this same Sunday afternoon. Hopefully we can hold a few picnic tables too. Nearby are drinking fountains (plus paint water) and washrooms. 
There is also a park concession with food, beverages and even Rocky Point Ice Cream. 

Sketching Subjects:
• informal strolling garden
