The river shelter is a great location for any company picnic event for a smaller organization hasting a picnic for around 200-250 guests. It is particularly nice because the shelter is private, nestled in its own little cove- so that your picnic is a more intimate event.

The venue is often used for weddings and other corporate meetings, but when it comes to company picnics- the Ambridge events center is a venue which you can count on for excellent reliable quality.

5) Sellwood Park – For people planning picnics in the SE Portland area, Sellwood park has proven to us on many occasions to be a great company picnic location. The venue is well treed, and the grounds are kept up fairly well- however parking can be difficult. But for most people who reside in the Sellwood are, they are used to a small walk from the car to get to where they need to be.

8) Washington County Fairgrounds – Any fairgrounds you can find is typically a great place for a company picnic- especially one of size. Fair grounds are set up for handling large amounts of people, parking, and often have a tremendous amount of amenities available, which can sometimes prove to save you in costs as far as tent rentals, power, portable sanitation, and other needs for events.
