The Purdue University North Central 268-acre campus is open to the public to enjoy and visitors are welcome to come by to picnic, take a walking tour of the campus sculpture and hike the many walking paths.
Families, individuals, clubs or school groups who want to relax with a picnic on campus may bring their own food and refreshments. A picnic shelter is available near the pond on the north side of the campus. Picnickers there may enjoy watching the sculpture, Odysseus, as it floats effortlessly on the water.
A number of other picnic tables are available throughout the campus quad area. Guests are asked to please clean up after themselves. Trash containers are conveniently located. More information about picnicking on campus can be found at www.pnc.edu/picnic.
