Our take
3.5/5A picnic birthday here makes sense for children who enjoy spending time outside and families comfortable arranging their own gathering. Hiking and birdwatching give the day something to center on beyond the picnic itself. Biking is another option if that matches the group's interests.
The five shelters provide a possible gathering point, but first come first served access is the practical catch. Families who need a particular shelter secured for a fixed schedule may find that difficult. Keep the day's plans flexible and decide how the picnic would work if the shelters were occupied.
