Voluntary donation appreciated. This covers the actual cost of site fees. It also helps us have another one of these :)

In lieu of a donation, you may choose to pay it forward. This involves donating money to your favorite charity or donating time to a neighbor, charity, community, or friend. Donate what you feel is appropriate for the fun you had at the event and spread the joy of juggling.
Please teach a workshop. It can be about juggling or any other kid-friendly topic.
Bring your own sustenance and drink. Feel free to bring an optional picnic dish, snack or drink to share.

Other Important Stuff to Know:

The park rules only allow for 50 people in the Section 1 picnic table area at one time. So be sure to arrive early for a good spot. Past 50, you will be probably be redirected to the other grassy (no table) areas of the park.
But with plenty of open space we should be fine as jugglers tend to spread out!
If you have a lot of props/items, a cart or wagon is highly encouraged for transport of items from your car to our picnic area. Our picnic area is about 200 feet from the parking area.
There are many hiking trails of different skill levels.
This is a dog-friendly park. Bring a scooper, a leash (required), and a water bowl!
Bring paper towels if you think you will need them. There are none at the facility.
There are restroom facilities.
Children under 18 must be accompanied by adult/parental supervision.
If you make a mess, you clean it up. There are trash cans in the vicinity.
Absolutely no smoking is prohibited in the park. Also, NO torches or other fire-related toys.
Note that there are no heating facilities and no barbecuing nor open flame allowed.
Consumption of alcohol is prohibited (Sec. 41.27 C, H LAMC).
Heavy rain / extreme wind cancels. The threat of such weather, however, does not.
There are no electrical outlets handy, as far as we know.
Absolutely no overnight camping.
Merchandise sales and raffles are prohibited without valid permit.
Amplified sound is prohibited. Portable radios / music devices set at a comfortable volume so as not to interrupt other park guests are OK though.
