Tip: When reserving a park, don't say it's a tomato tasting. You will face confusion and possibly a request for a Health Dept permit. Just say it's a team/friends get-together.

Also most important on these venues: Parking and a Clean Functional Bathroom.

It's great.

Thanks for the ideas! I've never tried to put together anything like this before. This will be fun!
