The Suffolk County parks system is one of the most impressive in the country, as it provides us with quality leisure opportunities from Montauk to Huntington. Suffolk County manages over 46,000 acres of parkland, offering a multitude of leisure time pursuits.

Popular activities within the Suffolk County parks system include golfing, camping, horseback riding, swimming, hiking, fishing, outer beach (shoreline) activities and boating, all of which are available to your party when using one of the private picnic and barbeque sites located within Suffolk County Parks.

Most people envision a picnic as a meal that is packed up and toted to the great outdoors for serving and eating. However, the term “picnic” can also be applied to a fully catered event that is fun, lighthearted and casual. But just because a picnic should be easy doesn't mean it can't also have some style.

Begin by putting away your old picnic blanket and, for just one day, forget about those peanut butter and jelly or bologna sandwiches. Then, before you head off for your excursion to the beach, park or mountains, pick up the phone and call in the experts from Andrews to help you plan a picnic with panache for you and your friends and family to enjoy.
