Picnic Prep Guide for Spring

Picnic season is upon us! Gather up your favourite snacks and your favourite people, and head out to your local park for an afternoon of cozy chit-chats, quality time, and basking in the sun.

IT'S PICNIC SEASON

The start of picnic season signals the end of a long and grueling winter (finally!). Now that the sun is out, it’s time to dust off your picnic blankets, and take a trip to your favourite park for some much needed vitamin D!

Figuring out what to pack for a picnic can be a little daunting (especially if it’s your first time), so we’ve compiled a list of recommendations for a few essential items to bring along with you for a fun day out with friends and family.

ESSENTIALS TO PACK FOR YOUR PICNIC

DON’T FORGET ABOUT SAKURA SEASON!

Spring doesn’t just mean picnic season–it’s also the time when sakura (cherry blossoms) start to bloom. Part of the beauty of sakura season is its elusive nature–peak bloom lasts for only a short window of time. If you want to try your luck at catching a glimpse of these blossoms, we’ve got a list of parks for you to visit in Toronto and the GTA before settling down for a picnic on the grass:

  • High Park
  • Trinity Bellwoods Park
  • Woodbine Park
  • Centennial Park
  • Kariya Park
