Click here to RSVP for NYC Pre-Summer Picnic in Central Park (5/17/2025)
Happy-almost-summer, everyone!
For those of you who live in or near NYC – or who might be visiting NYC in May – we will be running this year’s picnic as a pre-summer picnic on Saturday, May 17th from 1-4 PM at Summit Rock in Central Park!This picnic will be co-hosted with several Yale alumni groups that have lots of members in NYC, including 1stGenYale, Yale Alumni Educators, Camp Yale Emeritus, and the Yale College Classes of 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. This family-friendly picnic (children welcome!) is open to all fellow alumni, is free to attend, and will be a terrific chance to catch-up with fellow Yalies for part of a relaxing pre- summer weekend afternoon! We’ll also have lawn games and a few light refreshments, too! And with this year’s picnic scheduled the week before Memorial Day Weekend, we expect LOTS of classmates to still be in NYC before leaving for summer adventures! If you’re in or near NYC that day, we hope you’ll come join everyone, too!
The location for this year’s picnic will once again be Summit Rock (click here for a Google Maps view of Summit Rock). You can find our group by looking for the blue and white balloons. Remember to bring your own blanket! For our families who will be joining us, this location is just steps away from both the Diana Ross Playground and the Toll Family Playground for those who want to find fun things to do together with their little ones as part of the picnic. We will keep our RSVP’d guests in the loop with updates and with info about whether there will be any changes to our plans (due to rain, etc.), so please RSVP by filling out this form if you are definitely able or might be able to join our summer picnic!
We’re excited to offer a picnic once again this year, and we hope those of you who will be in NYC on May 17th are excited to join us for some pre-summer outdoor fun for part of your weekend! And if you have any questions in the meantime, please free to e-mail us at [email protected].
See you soon!
