do you have any family members with very large backyards?

This is what we are doing too so we don't have the headache of looking for a place. Good luck!

Check out Hecksher Park. You can have a party there and all you have to do is apply for the permit. It is free and the only cost to you is the price per car to enter the park which I think is like $8 per car. Also, Hecksher State Park has a beach area too!

does anyone know of the mushrooms at lido beach?? they seem to have the date available but do u believe the parking charge is 20.00 per car if ur not a resident of town of hempstead!!!!!

---

You can see if they can work a deal out with you for the parking, like pay a flat rate or something. The mushrooms are cool and you may not need the tent (if your even permitted for it). The only thing is that if other parties are going on, you will be RIGHT next to them. But I love lido and I think its a great spot. You can set up a volleyball net, tell your guest to bring swimsuits and walk down to the beach....
