Councilman Hand Invites Residents To Apply For Picnic Permits Online

Oyster Bay Town Councilman Tom Hand announced that residents are invited to apply for picnic permits online at www.oysterbaytown.com/picnic. As a part of the Town’s commitment to digitizing services for the convenience of all, these online reservations are valid for picnics at Marjorie R. Post Community Park in Massapequa, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park and Beach in Oyster Bay, Harry Tappen Beach and Marina in Glenwood Landing, Syosset-Woodbury Community Park, and Plainview-Old Bethpage Community Park.

“Our beautiful Town Parks are the perfect location for a family, school, or community group outing set in the great outdoors. Each location, from Teddy Roosevelt Beach in Oyster Bay to Marjorie Post Park in Massapequa, offers something unique for residents to enjoy,” Councilman Hand said. “Thanks to the hard work of our Parks Department, the process to apply for a picnic permit has now been streamlined to increase convenience and accessibility for residents.”

Picnic Permits are required for groups of 25 or more at all Town of Oyster Bay picnic pavilion locations and include exclusive use of the permitted area from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM on the reservation date. Some locations are covered, have access to water, and permit barbequing.

To view picnic availability, residents can visit OysterBayTown.com/Picnic and filter their preferred date, facility, specific location, and features using the page menu. They can then create an account on the same page and apply for the reservation. It is recommended that residents reserve their picnic pavilion early as spaces fill up quickly for the season. For more information on Town of Oyster Bay picnic permits, residents should call (516) 797-4139.
