Company Picnics by Poznan's lakes and in its city parks
Company picnics in Poznan have an advantage that cannot be moved elsewhere: a ring of lakes within the city limits and just beyond them. Malta, Rusalka, Strzeszynskie, Kierskie and Kornickie offer water as a ready theme for an outdoor event, with beaches, bathing spots and equipment hire close at hand. The best-equipped ground here is the Malta Picnic Field by Lake Malta, with a ready stage, covered dining areas, a covered dance platform, a marquee and a car park, plus full service: catering, entertainment and attractions such as a rodeo bull, eurobungee, zipline and a photo booth.
When an event has to be truly large, we head to Lake Rusalka. This expansive outdoor space, with a sandy beach, a bathing area with jetties and slides, a hire point for kayaks, pedalos and SUP boards and a path around the lake, scales to events of even several thousand guests. For shade, nature and a family character, we turn to the city parks, above all Cytadela Park, the largest in the city, with an amphitheatre, a rose garden, broad lawns, playgrounds and food stalls.
From Malta to Rusalka: lakeside grounds for picnics of any scale
The Malta Picnic Field is the city's flagship recreation ground, by the European-class regatta course and next to the Pyrland Rope Park, made for a company picnic and a family day. For a quieter, more intimate gathering, Solacki Park, with its pond, footbridges and a spacious meadow, sets a scenic, calm backdrop, while Wilson Park, with its Palm House and concert shell, offers a ready outdoor stage in a central location near the station.
The logic of an outdoor picnic is simple: the rawer the ground, the more has to be brought in. To the city parks and lakeside zones we transport the full back-of-house, a stage, canopies and tents in case of rain, generators, sanitary units and mobile catering with a grill and a food zone. Where ready infrastructure matters we choose commercial venues such as Natura do Wynajecia by Lake Kierskie, a fenced and lit ground with toilets, a car park, two pitches and lakeside water attractions.
Entertainment and a programme built on water and local colour
It is easiest to build a programme around water: kayaks, SUP boards and pedalos from Rusalka or Lake Strzeszynskie, one of the cleanest large bodies of water in the city, with beaches, playgrounds and pitches by the Oaza restaurant. For more active groups we suggest the Pyrland Rope Park by Malta, with rope trails and zipline descents, or the Children's Quad Land, which gathers quads and buggies, bouncy castles, water slides, ball pools, climbing walls, paintball, minigolf and trampolines in one place.
For the youngest guests, entertainers and a family zone are standard, and we gladly base the themed dressing on local colour: the billy goats of Poznan's Town Hall, the St Martin's croissant and the Poznan dialect. Beyond the city limits there are also grounds by Lake Kornickie, with a sandy beach, designated grilling spots with benches, a water sports hire point, a Wake Park and a broad promenade by the Arboretum, good directions when a team wants to head out of town yet keep facilities and water close.
Frequently asked
It depends on the scale and character. For an event with ready infrastructure the Malta Picnic Field works best, with its stage, covered zones, marquee, car park and full set of attractions. For a large, mass family day for the whole workforce, the ground by Lake Rusalka scales up, with its beach and own catering. For an intimate family gathering we recommend Solacki Park or Cytadela Park. We help match the place to the headcount and the programme.
The company picnic season by Poznan's lakes usually runs from late spring to early autumn, when the beaches, bathing spots and water equipment hire are in full swing. The best lakeside grounds get heavily booked in that window, so we reserve the date well in advance. For every date we prepare a bad-weather option with canopies, tents and a covered alternative, so the family day goes ahead whatever the skies.
