Our signature Spring Event the “Spring Picnic” is due to happen next month.
Sunday Apr 10th and Sunday Apr 24th are the pathshala free Sundays.
Any particular preference between the above 2 dates? Apr 24th may be better weather wise. But if we have conflicts with any other event on that day then Apr 10 can be also considered.
Also please suggest a nice park for the Spring Picnic. We try to do the Spring Picnic in a different park each year.
For newcomers, Spring Picnic is a potluck kind of picnic where you bring food for yourself + little bit more to share (the quantity need not be for whole group). It turns into a food fiesta since we have so much variety. We will play games of course too.
April 24th or later as weather will be warmer.
Considering that majority folks come around 11.00 or later, Saturday also would be an option isn’t it? Saturday gives you a longer day, start late and end late. Just a thought …
Seems like the park next door. How about Central Park in Santa Clara…..has a nice pond with lots of duck.
2 different play areas one for toddlers and one for older kids.
Nice Gazebo and picnic area.
Close to home 🙂
Mahavir Jayanti’s cultural programme is on 24th april.
I guess that rules out Apr 24th. Sat Apr 23rd or Sun Apr 10th are other 2 options.
April 16 or 17th could also be an option
Calabazas Park – BasketBall/VolleyBall/Tennis courts + it also seems to have a cool trak course for bikers.

Sundays work best for KV since some folks work or take/give classes on Saturdays. And considering that Apr 24th is JCNC Derasar Program day, that leaves us with one Sunday in April which is Sunday, Apr 10th. The weather shows mostly sunny on that day.
So lets decide on Sunday, Apr 10th for the Spring Picnic. Next is the venue decision. Apart from the venues which have been suggested if you have some other venues please let us know.
Another Option: San Ramon Central Park
Modern playstructures, lots of tables

Also are folks really interested in the Spring Picnic this time? If you cannot make it you can put it down here. At least we will have a sense of the enthu level.
Vasona Park in Los Gatos is another option. Back to our roots. 🙂
We are in for San Ramon park. Park looks nice and this will give us a chance to explore the east side of the bay.
Here is some more detail & Pic of Calabazas Park SJ
