Lazy River Playground and Retreat Center, LLC

Lazy River Playground and Retreat Center is a seasonal venue in Hermon, New York, where organisers can bring people together in a relaxed, wooded setting beside the Grasse River. The grounds suit weddings, birthday celebrations, family reunions, graduations, school gatherings, wellness retreats and business events. Couples can book the outdoor setting for a ceremony and reception, with space for up to 200 guests outdoors or under a tent, and up to 120 indoors. A ceremony-only option is also available.

For parties and group get-togethers, organisers can choose a half-day or full-day booking, or arrange a shorter party built around skating, mini-golf, or both. The property’s activities include vintage roller skating, antique mini-golf, shuffleboard and horseshoes. A covered picnic pavilion provides space for gathering, and a nearby covered pavilion has charcoal grills for groups bringing their own charcoal. Swimming, kayaking and fishing are available by the waterfront, subject to a signed waiver.

The rural grounds include forest trails, meadows and streams, offering a natural backdrop for gatherings and time outdoors. Four simple sleeping cabins are available for overnight stays, which can be useful for wedding parties or retreat guests. The venue also hosts wellness retreats and offers guided forest therapy walks and other nature-based experiences through its forest therapy programme. Event options and availability vary by season, with the venue operating mainly from May through October. Organisers can contact the team to discuss dates, group size and the best format for their event.
