If you’re planning a party at a park, you’ll definitely want to take a look at some of the items I suggest you buy for your party! There is so much to love about a party at a park – more space, less worry about messes, and built-in entertainment (the playground!). But, one of the “cons” to a party at a park is that you need to bring everything with you… if you forget something, you might be out of luck! So, take a look at what I’ve compiled here and check it against your list to make sure you’ve got everything you need!

2 | I made the banner pictured above, but this one is similar
4 | Just put out some sidewalk chalk and see what the kids create!

7 | A baby version
8 | Don’t forget the blindfold for the piñata…
9 | … and the stick, rope and bags!

Party Basics
1 | A basic tool box is super handy for a party at the park… I like this one because it has screw drivers (not all of them do!)
2 | A first aid kit is good to have for a party at the park too!
4 | These tablecloth clips are great – strong enough to clip on to some of the thick-top tables at the park
5 | Paper towels FOR SURE
6 | Bringing your own trash bags is a really considerate thing to do if you’re having a party at the park
7 | My mom recommended these large ice packs to me to put in coolers instead of ice… then you don’t need to go to the store the morning of the party!
8 | I have these to-go boxes on hand for all parties (especially holidays!)
9 | Only a little more than plastic and these serving utensils are reusable!
10 | This cart is a lifesaver when it comes time to haul all this stuff to the park! It folds down to fit in your trunk and is TOUGH! I love this thing 🙂
