Company picnics outdoors by the Bay of Gdansk
Company picnics in Gdansk have one advantage no inland city can fake - the closeness of the Bay of Gdansk and the strip of seaside greenery running from Brzezno to Przymorze. For teams from the Tricity's modern business-services, maritime and shipbuilding sectors, an outdoor event by the water is a natural choice for closing the season, a family day or team building after an intense quarter. We handle Gdansk end to end: from choosing the grounds, through the stage and shelters, to catering and activities for whole families.
The most space is offered by Ronald Reagan Park, the Seaside Park - the largest urban green area in the city, with walking and cycling paths, two ponds, playgrounds, pitches and direct access to the beach and pier at Brzezno. It is a place where a large family day spreads out freely and the children's zones, stage and catering points do not get in each other's way. Right next door, on the Brzezno beach itself, intimate barbecue gatherings work well with a view of the open bay.
Sobieszewo Island and the Oliwa forests stretch the picnic season to the very shore
For firms after something further from the bustle of the city centre, the natural direction is Sobieszewo Island - a Gdansk district with a wide strip of sandy beach, the Mewia Lacha and Ptasi Raj bird reserves and the Mlynowka kayak marina on the Dead Vistula. Kayak trips and birdwatching weave into the picnic programme here as a gentle form of team building, far from corporate rooms. It is ground for teams wanting to combine an outdoor event with a real breath of nature.
When we want woodland greenery and a campfire, we turn to the Oliwa Forests with their designated fire spots, wooden tables and benches - bearing in mind that barbecuing is banned in the neighbouring historic Oliwa Park. The lakeside direction is opened by Lake Otominskie in its protected landscape area, with covered picnic shelters and marked trails, and Lake Straszynskie at the city's southern edge, with forests, hills and a nearby kayak marina on the Radunia.
Seaside logistics follow their own rules: shelters and a plan B against the bay wind
Outdoor logistics in Gdansk follow their own rules - the coastal wind and changeable weather over the bay call for solid shelters, tents and marquees as a plan B, whatever the forecast. We build a stage with sound for the compere and a concert, set out catering zones with food and a barbecue, and run family activities, bouncy castles and sports stands.
Some Gdansk grounds require formal permission for a campfire, filed with the green-space manager well in advance, while certain barbecue spots have ready-made grills available without booking - we take all of this paperwork and coordination onto ourselves. From an intimate team gathering to an extensive family day for staff and their families, we prepare an offer tailored to the specific grounds and group size, with an individual quote each time.
Frequently asked
For an extensive family day for staff and their families, Ronald Reagan Park - the Seaside Park - works best. It is the largest urban green area in Gdansk, with playgrounds, pitches and access to the beach at Brzezno, and gives enough room that the stage, children's activity zones and catering points do not compete for space. For teams seeking quiet away from the centre, Sobieszewo Island with its wide strip of beach is the alternative.
The outdoor season in Gdansk essentially runs from late spring to early autumn - that is when the water-equipment rentals by the lakes operate and kayak trips on the Motlawa and the Dead Vistula work best. You do have to bear in mind the coastal wind and the changeable weather over the bay, so whatever the date we plan solid shelters and tents as a backup.
The local character of Gdansk lets us weave in activities you will not find inland: kayak trips around Spichrzow Island and Olowianka with a view of the Crane and the Shipyard, birdwatching in the Mewia Lacha and Ptasi Raj reserves on Sobieszewo Island, and campfire feasts in the Oliwa Forests. To this we add children's activities, bouncy castles, sports stands and barbecue zones as standard.
