Where is it?
The Park 1885 Hacienda Road, La Habra Heights, 90631 Location MAP
This location is referred to as Hacienda Park on Google Maps. This park offers a wonderful venue for the event – acres of grass, trees, shade, sun, real restrooms (not porta-potties!) and lots of free parking.
Click Here for a map of the location. It is the same place the picnic is always held. Go south on Hacienda from the 60 fwy or north from Whittier Blvd.
What can I do at the Picnic?
The possibilities are endless - relax with your family (greyhound and human) in beautiful surroundings, visit with other greyhound lovers, participate in games and events designed for canine participation and participate in the raffles, auctions and drawings. It could be your lucky day!
Do I get fed?
Most of us think the food is the best part of the Picnic! FastFriends provides a fabulous BBQ lunch including pulled pork sandwiches, hamburgers, vegi-burgers, hot dogs, roasted corn and packaged snacks.
