In late August, the lawn care company ranked the best cities for picnic lovers and named Thousand Oaks, California, its No. 1 spot for a picnic. The team compared the 500 biggest cities in the U.S. across four categories: park accessibility, climate, laws and regulations, and safety.
According to the findings, 85 percent of residents in Thousand Oaks live within 10 minutes of a park, while a whopping 37 percent of land in the city is used for parks and recreation. Additionally, there are 48 hiking trails for visitors and locals to explore.
Michelle Ison, the 'Picnicker-and-Chief' at Picnic & Peonies, said you need 'two classic items: a basket and a blanket. But we also highly recommend bringing sunscreen and bug spray.' Ison also added that you don't even need to be ultra fancy with your food items.
Packing for a picnic doesn't require complexity; it's about enjoying the moment and the meal. As Ison stated, 'Pizza is such a fun and simple way to engage with outdoor dining.'
Who doesn’t love digging into a favorite dish while feeling the breeze against their cheek, the birds chirping, and the grass under their toes?
