Has anyone ever done this?
I called and Picnic Area B is free for the date I was looking to do Colin's 1st Birthday - there's no fee for the park.

The only negative I can think of is that according to the website - no alcohol.

But I can invite everyone w/o having to stress, I don't have to rent a $500 tent, I don't have to freak out if it rains and worry about 100 people in my house, I don't have to worry about entertaining the kids - it's a park for God's sake ........

Negatives ??? Any ???
