It’s a fact; maintaining good mental health is as important as physical health – and many employers are taking actions to support this.
According to the U.S. Dept of Agriculture, studies show that being outside in nature is relaxing, reducing our stress, cortisol levels, muscle tension and heart rates.
More business leaders are putting resources into place that support mental health, like encouraging outside walks and playtime during the day. As you see more and more of your employees finding ways to get together outside, we at Liberty Lake Picnics & Events say, lean into it. And we’ve got ways to help you.
Have a picnic! Being outdoors and connecting socially are two tried-and-true methods to improving mental health. Our 60-shady acre outdoor park setting is a mother-nature designed oasis that rejuvenates the mind and body.
Here are a few of the mental health benefits that come with every Liberty Lake picnic:
Fresh Air! Being outside reduces stress, lowers risk of depression, restores strength in mental capacities, boosts mood and increases the ability to focus.
While we do have covered pavilions on our grounds, Liberty Lake is a completely open space where people can get away from screens and technology.
Activities & Games Liberty Lake is complete with playgrounds, sports fields, a lake and pools. If you’re looking to have your employees have more fun together, you can to choose from 80 different games and activities. From cornhole and mini golf, to our zipline adventure and relaxing paddle boarding, we guarantee there will be something fun for everyone.
So much more than BBQ! Putting a great meal together goes a long way to helping employees relax. Our meal prep professionals work closely with you to make sure your company picnic has a delicious variety of healthy menu choices. We are also a peanut-free park.
Getting in Some Down Time Together Making small talk over big burgers, corn on the cob, macaroni and cheese (or whatever comfort food you like best) – hanging around a picnic table is a relationship builder.
As we are all figuring out ways to keep our employees connected in this new hybrid world, holding a company picnic is a great way to reconnect and boost morale. It also shows your commitment to them and their well-being.
Health studies consistently show the mental wellness benefits of being outdoors. Liberty Lake is built for restoring the spirit in all of us.
