The PPGF picnic at Crandon Park in Key Biscayne was a great success.

Everyone enjoyed the cookout by chefs Stolpe and Hitz, the frolicking in the sea, and some hilarious volley ball games.

Crandon Park was once home to the Crandon Park Zoo, which is now the Crandon Gardens, and used to have a train that went around the Zoo on a regular basis.  Some remains of the train tracks are still left exposed to this day, and where the zoo once stood is now home to cages without bars and picnic tables where the native birds, turtles, and reptiles run freely.  Residents and guests to Key Biscayne alike enjoy both the Crandon Beaches as well as the Crandon Gardens.
