Company picnics by the Odra and the lakes
Company picnics in Szczecin draw on something that cannot be replicated elsewhere: the city sits on the Odra and among lakes, with greenery and water covering more than half of its area. That is a natural setting for an outdoor event, where the stage, the activity zone and the catering spread across open ground rather than within four walls. We serve Szczecin comprehensively, from intimate integrations for a single department to large family days for entire workforces, matching the grounds to the scale and character of the gathering.
The grand heart of large outdoor events is the Jasne Blonia lawns named after John Paul II, right next to the City Hall. The open square holds a main stage, catering tents and children's zones, while the adjacent Kasprowicz Park completes the pair with greenery, alleys and on-site dining. Within the park stands the Helena Majdaniec Summer Theatre, an amphitheatre with covered seating, a ready stage for a concert to close the picnic or a show for families. A more intimate mood comes from the Rozanka rose garden with its bandshell, ideal for a smaller gathering with live music.
From the lawns to the waterfront: grounds for every scale
The second pole is the grounds by the water. In summer Lasztownia and the riverside boulevards turn into an urban zone with a beach, dining and open-air cinema, while just nearby Wyspa Grodzka offers a sandy beach and a stage right by the river. For integrations with a watersports element, the bathing spots work well: Glebokie, wrapped in forest, with jetties, a playground and a rental point for kayaks and SUP boards, and across the river the Dabie lake, one of the largest in Poland, with its bays, beaches and conditions for sailing or windsurfing.
When an event is meant to pair a barbecue with activity, Arkonka in the Arkonskie Forests works beautifully: pools, an artificial beach, pitches, courts, a skatepark and barbecue clearings in one complex. Around the city there are also a dozen or so forest recreation clearings, with masonry fire pits, picnic tables and shelters that save the plan when rain comes. For teams who enjoy a challenge, the Bukowa Forest and the Bukowe Hills offer beech woodland, glacial boulders and ready trails for outdoor games, orienteering and survival scenarios.
Full-service outdoor production with a weather plan
The logistics of an outdoor event by the Odra and the lakes follow their own rules, because the open lawns and waterside boulevards can be exposed to the wind off the lagoon. We deliver the whole thing turnkey: stage and sound, canopies and tents for the catering zone, a mobile kitchen with a barbecue, activities for the youngest, bouncy castles, candy-floss stands and a host to tie the programme together.
We keep the details of an outdoor event in mind: power, sanitary facilities, signage for the zones and a plan for the changeable weather off the Odra and Dabie lake. That is why we are happy to suggest locations with a built-in plan B, such as Park Niemierzynski, where extensive open ground sits beside an air-conditioned hall and parking, or the out-of-town MOLO Centre by the lake with its own equipment and staff.
Frequently asked
At a large scale, the pairing of the Jasne Blonia lawns and the adjacent Kasprowicz Park works best: there is room for a stage, activity zones and catering tents, a ready amphitheatre with covered seating, plus dining and parking on site. For smaller groups we suggest the Rozanka rose garden with its bandshell or forest clearings with fire pits.
The widest range of options runs from late spring to early autumn, when the urban zones by the Odra on Lasztownia and Wyspa Grodzka are active, along with the bathing spots at Glebokie and Dabie. Since the weather can be changeable, for every date we plan canopies and locations with a backup hall, such as Park Niemierzynski, so the family day goes ahead whatever the weather.
By the Glebokie and Dabie lakes, kayaks, SUP boards and pedal boats go down well, while at Arkonka there are pools, pitches and playgrounds. In the Bukowa Forest and the Bukowe Hills we run outdoor games and orienteering, and on the forest clearings with fire pits and on the Jasne Blonia lawns we add bouncy castles, children's animators, sweet stands and a barbecue zone.
