Company Picnic Planning at Wardlow Park in Long Beach for 150 People: Food & Picnic Games

We were tasked with planning a company picnic at Wardlow Park in Long Beach for 150 employees and their families. PS2, Inc. trusted us with full-service support—from start to finish, we brought everything in-house and onsite. That included hot-off-the-grill catering, adult picnic games that kept the grown-ups laughing and engaged, our signature field day game stations that brought out everyone’s competitive side, and complete setup with tables, chairs, umbrellas, and branded service tents. We even dialed in the energy with surround sound and mic support for announcements and music throughout the day. If it was part of the event, we had a hand in it. (Well—except for the people. PS2 handled that part 😉).

Company Picnic on a Budget at Wardlow Park in Long Beach

Many small businesses assume a company picnic is out of reach—but planning a company picnic on a budget is completely possible, and it can have a big impact. We specialize in making smaller budgets go further, without cutting corners on quality or experience. A park-based employee picnic like this one gives staff and their families a space to relax, bond, and have fun together. Team building often happens naturally around the game tables or during casual conversations over lunch. A well-planned picnic builds morale and strengthens company culture—and hosting it at a place like Wardlow Park in July offers all the perks without a hefty price tag.

Economy Catering Package For 150 People at Wardlow Park Company Picnic

For this company picnic at Wardlow Park, PS2, Inc. opted for our Economy Catering Package, offering a delicious and budget-friendly solution for the event. Everything was prepared fresh onsite, thanks to our in-house catering team and mobile kitchen. Guests enjoyed 1/3 lb Angus burgers and 100% all-beef hot dogs, served with a variety of toppings. We set up a condiment station, fully stocked with all the essentials for both the burgers and hot dogs, including lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, cheese, onions, mustard, ketchup, chili, sauerkraut, and relish. As a side, we served a fresh mixed green garden salad with dressing options and 3-bean bbq baked beans. This well-organized, efficient setup ensured that guests could easily customize their meals while keeping the flow of the picnic smooth and enjoyable.

Interactive Company Picnic Field Games at Wardlow Park for Ps2 Inc Employees

​The field day games at this affordable company picnic were an absolute highlight, bringing out the competitive spirit in both employees and their families. With the park's spacious grounds, we set up a variety of exciting, interactive games that encouraged participation from all ages. Activities like relay races, tug-of-war, and sack races created an atmosphere of friendly competition and team collaboration.

Designed with both fun and teamwork in mind, the games were a great way to boost morale and encourage people to step outside their comfort zones. Employees and families cheered each other on, strengthening relationships in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Whether it was the kids competing in one of the races or the adults taking on the tug-of-war challenge, everyone was engaged and having a blast. The field day games were the perfect way to bring people together and create lasting memories at the picnic.

Engaging Picnic Games for Adults in the Interactive Social Lounge

In the Adult Fun Zone, also known as the Interactive Social Lounge, we had plenty of picnic games for adults to enjoy. This area was designed for a more relaxed vibe, yet it still kept everyone engaged with exciting activities. Games like Revolution and Strike Zone brought out competitive spirits, while Shuffleboard and Life-Size Battleship provided a more strategic challenge. Cornhole, Ping Pong, and Giant Jenga were perfect for those looking to have fun while testing their skills.

​For a bit of a mental challenge, the Playback Memory Challenge had guests reminiscing and laughing as they tried to recall fun moments from the picnic. The 3-Putt Golf Challenge was a hit for those looking for a more relaxed, precision-based game, while Air Hockey got the adrenaline pumping. These picnic games for adults offered a great balance of fun and competition, encouraging socializing and making lasting memories for all.

Shaded Tables and Chairs for This Company Picnic at Wardlow Park

We made sure the seating for the company picnic was both comfortable and social. For this event, we provided 60" round tables, each with custom turquoise table covers, and set them up with 8 chairs per table. The goal was to encourage conversation and make sure everyone had a spot to sit and relax while enjoying the day. We also added 9' market umbrellas, keeping guests cool under the summer sun. By carefully arranging the tables, we made sure there was plenty of room for people to mingle, move around the food and beverage stations, and participate in the fun games. This setup was designed to make sure everyone felt connected while enjoying the company picnic at Wardlow Park.
