Free Community Carnival and Picnic at Grove Park

  • Grove Park 1730 Oregon Street Berkeley, CA, 94703 United States (map)

Bring your kids out to our annual carnival and community picnic on June 27, when they will enjoy a day of food, games, and fun with fellow Berkeleyans.

Children are invited to jump on giant inflatables, scramble through an obstacle course, or play a variety of sports. We’ll also have carnival games, a petting zoo with bunnies and goats, and a tot-zone for our littlest ones.

Your kids would join others coming from most of the 16 summer camps run by our Recreation Division. Friends, neighbors, as well as kids from privately-run camps are also welcome.

Have lunch on us! Fuddruckers will serve hotdogs and burgers with chips for a picnic meal. We’ll also have popcorn and cotton candy. Register online to shorten time to enter the carnival. Get in early, as we anticipate some lines.
