Planning a Company Picnic at Wonderful Park in Lost Hills with an Amusement Park Theme

​Planning a company picnic at Wonderful Park in Lost Hills for 3,000+ Wonderful Pistachios employees and their families was all about creating a fully immersive amusement park experience. We really shelled out an amazing spread, bringing in thrilling rides, a waterpark, interactive games, and our award-winning catering. No matter where you were within the picnic, the atmosphere felt like a true theme park adventure. Check out this highlight reel to see the transformation!

​Turning Wonderful Park In Lost Hills into a Theme Park for This Company Picnic

​Wonderful Park, formerly known as Lost Hills Park, is located in Lost Hills, California, a quiet area in the Central Valley of California. It was the perfect venue to host this 3,000-person company picnic, and not because it's owned by the Wonderful Company but also because it boasts a large grass field and spectacular views, making it ideal for a private event like this. We transformed Wonderful Park into an unforgettable amusement park of attractions, complete with its very own water slides.

a Captivating Welcome Sign & Balloon Entrance At Wonderful Park for Attendees

Stepping into Wonderful Park felt like entering a full-scale amusement park, starting with a custom entrance sign and towering green balloon décor. The balloon arch, designed to resemble floating pistachios, set the stage for a fun-filled day ahead, much like walking through the grand gates of a theme park. Employees and their families from Wonderful Pistachios stopped to snap photos under the vibrant display, capturing the excitement before heading off to explore the attractions. It was the perfect way to kick off an immersive company picnic experience with all the thrills of a theme park adventure.

Welcome Registration Booths: Company Picnic Planning Simplified with Our Custom Booth Options

Just like entering a theme park, guests kicked off their company picnic experience at our Welcome Booths, designed to feel like amusement park ticket stations. Bright "Welcome" signs provided clear directions, making check-in seamless right from the parking lot. Attendees received their wristbands, raffle tickets, and exclusive swag, setting the stage for a day packed with excitement. To keep the lines moving smoothly--just like an efficient theme park entrance—we added a second booth, ensuring quick access to all the fun waiting beyond the gates!

Lost Hills Company Picnic Catering: Award-Winning Onsite BBQ Food Service

No amusement park experience is complete without delicious food, and this company picnic was no exception! Our award-winning BBQ catering served as the main food attraction, with professionally set up food service stations featuring branded tents, flagging, and clear directional signage—just like you'd find at a theme park. To enhance the experience, we placed satellite fun food and beverage stations throughout the event, giving guests that true amusement park feel with easy access to snacks and drinks wherever they roamed.

Amusement Park-Inspired Company Picnic Catering at Wonderful Park

The sights, sounds, and smells of an amusement park wouldn’t be complete without classic, crave-worthy food, and we made sure the Wonderful Pistachios company picnic delivered on every level. Our midway-style food stations created an authentic theme park dining experience, offering everything from flame-grilled Angus burgers to 100% all-beef hot dogs with all the fixings. Guests made their way to the BBQ Shack, where slow-smoked brisket, baby back ribs, pulled pork sliders, and open-flame grilled BBQ chicken were cooked fresh on-site, filling the air with the unmistakable aroma of a backyard cookout. The Taco Shack kept the flavors rolling with warm tortillas, three meat options, fresh salsa, and all the toppings needed for a perfect handheld bite.

​Of course, no amusement park-inspired picnic would be complete without fun, nostalgic treats. The Fun Food Shack brought out the childhood favorites, serving up fresh-spun cotton candy, golden funnel cakes, fire-roasted corn, and hand-shaved ice in assorted flavors. Every bite transported guests back to the thrill of strolling down a bustling boardwalk, making this company picnic as much about the experience as it was about the food.

Ice-Cold Refreshments at Wonderful Park’s Amusement Park-Themed Company Picnic​

To keep guests refreshed throughout the event, we set up two strategically placed fun food stations at opposite ends of the picnic, ensuring easy access no matter where attendees were enjoying the festivities. These stations featured freshly shaved ice, a perfect treat for the warm day, offering a cool, refreshing break between rides, games, and activities.​

​What made these stations even more exciting was the large assortment of self-serve, sugar-free flavors, allowing guests to customize their shaved ice to their liking. From classic fruity flavors to more tropical blends, everyone had the chance to mix and match their perfect icy creation. These high-traffic snack hubs were a hit with both kids and adults, adding to the authentic amusement park feel while providing a much-needed way to beat the heat.

Hydration Stations Throughout Wonderful Park's Amusement Park-Themed Picnic

To ensure guests stayed refreshed and energized throughout the event, we set up satellite beverage stations across the venue, strategically placed to keep everyone hydrated and happy no matter where they were. These stations offered a variety of options, including freshly squeezed lemonade, perfect for those craving a tangy, citrusy refreshment, and sweet tea, a fan favorite that brought a Southern charm to the picnic.

For those seeking a lighter option, we also provided filtered water, making it easy for everyone to stay hydrated between all the fun-filled activities. These conveniently located beverage stations were a key part of the immersive amusement park experience, ensuring guests could quench their thirst while enjoying the excitement of the day.

Generous Prize Packages to Motivate Employee Participation at Wonderful Park​

Prize packages at the Wonderful Park company picnic were more than just fun—they were a key motivator for employees to actively participate in the field day games. By offering a variety of exciting prizes, Wonderful Pistachios ensured that the games were filled with energy and competition. These reward packages not only provided an added incentive for participation but also acted as a boost to morale, encouraging team spirit and engagement.

Interactive Event Entertainment: Strategically Selected and Placed Inside Wonderful Park

The Wonderful Park company picnic was brought to life with an exciting array of entertainment options, immersing every attendee in a thrilling theme park experience.

The Dual Basketball Hoop Shot and Soccer Penalty Kick stations kept sports enthusiasts on their toes, offering friendly competition throughout the day. The 3-in-1 Sports Trio combined multiple challenges in one, delivering non-stop fun.

For the younger crowd (and the young at heart), the ​Jurassic Adventure Playcenter, Ferris Wheel Playcenter, and Circus Tent Bouncer added a playful touch with interactive and colorful activities. The Triple Lindy Slide and Dino World Playcenter brought out the thrill seekers with adrenaline-pumping slides and dinosaur-themed attractions, making this picnic feel like a true theme park adventure.

🌊 Bringing a Portable Waterpark to This Lost Hills Company Picnic at Wonderful Park 🌊

Our portable water park is customized to the event size. In this case, we went with a high-throughput selection of water slides and our infamous water tag—a water gun shooting arena. The water park was designed to be a cooling-off space of interaction and fun, with wet & wild attractions suitable for every age. The entire water park is outfitted for safety, with non-slip flooring surrounding each attraction and safety flagging to zone off the wet area from the rest of the company picnic attractions.

The entire water park creates a picture-perfect wet zone of excitement for all who enter it, boosting employee morale, company culture, and creating lasting memories for everyone at the picnic.

The prize tables were so loaded we had to stack things on the floor too!  This combination brought the event together seamlessly, making it an unforgettable experience for all attendees.

Optimal Outdoor Picnic Seating and Event Layout for Maximum Comfort and Enjoyment

Our outdoor picnic seating is the best in the industry, providing the most comfortable tables and chairs with the largest 9-foot umbrellas for shade. We strategically design the event space so that the tables and chairs are in the center, offering attendees a 360-degree view of all the excitement around them. Not only are they within a reasonable distance from the food service area, but they are also able to see all the entertainment that surrounds them.

Satellite Surround Sound Speaker Clusters for Perfectly Balanced Audio Permeation

​What sets us apart from other company picnic planners is that we handle everything ourselves, ensuring every detail is perfect. We understand the importance of high-quality audio at an event. We set up satellite surround sound speaker clusters to achieve perfect sound distribution, provided dedicated wireless mics for specific zones, and had one main mic for announcements and giveaways. This ensured impeccable sound throughout the entire venue, not just a cluster of noise at the DJ booth, but balanced, clear audio for everyone at the event.
