Winston-Salem's best picnic spots
Grab and Go to the Park! National Eat Outside Day is the perfect excuse to pack up a picnic and head to the nearest park in Winston-Salem for an outdoor feast!
Three of the best spots for a picnic in Winston-Salem? My family loves:
- Bailey Park
445 Patterson Ave., Winston-Salem
The openness of Bailey Park is what we love most. The fact that Xena, our Kerry Blue Terrier, is welcomed is huge. There are always activities going on, and I for one, am hooked on the food trucks.
- Reynolda Gardens-Wake Forest
100 Reynolda Village, Winston-Salem
The beautiful gardens on the property are amazing! This is a great place to take a small picnic and just take in the scenery.
The park itself doesn't have a lot of extras like some other parks in the area, but there is a tranquil waterfall wall that just seems to be perfect while meditating or collecting your thoughts.

Take it to the backyard
Rather eat at home? Order takeout and take that picnic right outside on your front stoop, or back lawn! For an at-home outdoor dining feast, my family typically orders takeout from Winston-Salem's May Way Dumplings, Yamas, and Silvia's Honey Tree
If time is tight, A simple PBJ on the porch will do the trick just fine!
No matter how you do it, celebrate National Eat Outside Day this year! If you take part, make sure to tag Macaroni KID Winston-Salem in social media posts so we can see how you celebrated in Winston-Salem!
Bon appétit!
