Things You’ll Need:

1. Choose a park for your reunion. This might be somewhere near your homes, a park you've visited in the past, or simply somewhere you've always wanted to visit.
2. Book a hotel or hall near the park for a reunion party. It is best to choose an indoor location in case it rains, although having an outdoor terrace or path to the park may also be a great idea.

8. Rent seating, tables, and decorations as needed.
9. Arrive a day early to set up for the reunion.
