Box o' Franzia and a picnic blanket in Chimbo park serve you just as well!

> Chimbo park

"No alcoholic beverages are allowed in city parks."

I'm not really a stickler for rules, but illegally drinking in a city park carries a different stress level than dealing with staff attitudes at Brambly.

I lived across the street from Chimborazo for a little bit. The key is just to not be obnoxious or flagrant about it. Saw plenty of picnics with wine and beer, had a few of my own and never had an issue. As long as you're not walking around with open containers or leaving trash around I doubt anyone would even notice tbh.

Heck, Garnett's sells picnic lunches, including wine, for people to take across the street to Meadow park. I doubt it's high on RPD's list of concerns.

I had some wine with a picnic in Byrd Park last weekend. No weird looks from anyone and no run ins with the law. It was a nice little day out actually.

Like you said, don't make a spectacle of yourself and it's not an issue.

I'm curious what local public park is less laid back than Brambly?

Even if you did have an open container- people have more pressing concerns, namely their own business.
