The event in Batley Memorial Park, which was funded by the Batley councillors as part of their ward budget, invited people to bring their own food, enjoy a few activities and socialise with others.
Coun Will Simpson, cabinet member for culture and Greener Kirklees, said: “We heard from Batley residents that there was a sense of disconnect among parts of the community brought about by the pandemic.
"So, the Batley East and West councillors came up with the idea of a picnic in the park to help rebuild those bridges.”
