General guidelines:

• COVID-19 Policy

  • With the US covid public health emergency having expired on May 11, 2023, and the change in the availability of federally-funded COVID‑19 tests and vaccinations has led the Further Confusion leadership team to decide that it is no longer feasible to require vaccinations or testing to attend our events.

  • We are still committed to prioritizing the health and safety of all attendees and staff. We strongly encourage everyone to continue to wear masks as approprate, keep your vaccinations up tp date, and stay home if you are feeling unwell.

  • Please note that our COVID‑19 policy is subject to change based on evolving circumstances and public health guidance. We will communicate any updates or revisions to the policy through our official channels.

  • By attending the event, you acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with public gatherings. We appreciate your understanding, cooperation, and commitment to keeping our community safe.

• Fursuiting is allowed, and encouraged! A changing area will be provided.

• Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times.
  Please clean up any pet waste!

• If in fursuit, please be cautious around children and bring a handler if wandering away from the picnic area.

• Please deposit garbage and cans/bottles in properly labelled trash and recycling receptacles. We’ll bring extra bags and boxes to toss cans in.

• Further Confusion is not responsible for lost or stolen property.

• Please do not bring weapons or other dangerous items to the park.

• Please refrain from throwing flammable, toxic, and non-edible items on or in the grills (even when not in use).

• For the courtesy of our guests, please refrain from smoking in the Picnic site.

• Be responsible, be safe, and have fun!
