Our son’s Graduation Party at Oakland
Yard exceeded all our expectations:
- the tent perfectly accommodated our
325+ guests seated at 15 round tables
during a 6 hour period with plenty of
room for serving food (hot & cold),
desserts, pop, water, etc.
- the bar was an easy short stroll from
the tent and a nice additional gathering
area for some to sit back and enjoy a
few adult beverages, or take them back
to the tent
- there were always games being played
in the sand volleyball and basketball
courts, and it seemed like the tetherball
pole was always in use
- the slip n’ slide was a HUGE HIT
with kids of all ages, and even a few
adventurous adults
- the little tykes loved the sand box
and the rope climbing course
- no injuries were reported during any
of the impromptu soccer games that so
many kids enjoyed playing on that legendary
Oakland Yard “pitch”
- parking was a non-issue - something
we dreaded when we considered having the
party at our house with our narrow road
and skinny lot
- ditto for the restrooms which were
clean and plentiful with running water
- they would have been porta-potties had
the party been at our house!
- The staff was incredibly attentive
and responsive, which was no surprise
after working with Philip, one of the
owners, who clearly demonstrated that
a successful party for us was his priority.
Several of our guests are now planning
to have their children’s Graduation
Parties at “the Yard”, and you
can bet we are too after such an incredible
experience.
With so much planning and worrying that
goes into these Graduation Parties, you
don’t want to take a chance - have
it at the Oakland Yard, you’ll be
happy you did – we sure are!
Thanks again,
Mike
