Party in a public park (Security and Fun Concerns)

I'm throwing a party in two weeks at a park here in Vancouver. I'm concerned about safety, security, and the fun of my guests. I was wondering if I could get your thoughts.
I'm expecting sixty to hundred people at this thing. It's going to be a bon fire at the beach type deal (what cool things did you like when you went to bonfire parties?). There's going to kegs there.
I just want to get ideas, if I'm not clear right now or if I didn't explain well enough ask me to clarify. I'm kind of shaky right now.

Well, I don't know what the police are like up there in Vancouver, but if you were throwing such a party around here, I'd say get ready to deal with the cops.

I invited just a few people but it's one of those everyone invited someone else thing. Also, I don't want to get a permit because I think that would virtually guarentee someone showing up and poking into my business.
I think I have a way of hiding the kegs sufficently.

This is a public park that closes @ 11:30. It's by the water and on a weekend there's always tons of people. Looking on the website for this place, I see nothing about no alcohol even though my common sense knows otherwise. This place is huge and we're going to be in a secluded spot.

I'm going to stake out the park tomorrow night until it closes just to see how everything goes down and what I can expect. On the day of, I plan to get there at least three hours in advance, set everything up, and see what happens.
This is going to happen. I'm giving myself 50/50. I've pulled these things off before and they worked because of planning and knowledge. That's why I ask here. I'm not mad or down on any of you for saying "It's not going to work" but I still have to try.

You're looking at a fuckload of liquor fines if you get busted.
Good luck.

Well not huge bon fires but I was thinking about three medium sized bon fires all going at the same time in a triangle shape in front of three canopys.

With 60-100 people anything can happen.
As soon as people get up yo 9 or 10 beers I can predict problems happening amongst different crowds.
I have been to a lot of parties, seen a lot of things, so just be careful because you dont know who will show up.
Also, outdoor bashes usually get busted by the cops after a few hours. Try to keep everyone to stay quiet and not act like idiots to draw attention from nearby residents.
Have fun

Not fully related to this thread, but in the same lines.
In Toronto during the summer, parties at this one beach happen pretty often. Full on parties, DJs spinning/etc, running from 10pm-7/8am or so if not later. Generally speaking they dont get busted, now and then cops will swing by -- but generally let the party carry on. Of the 5 or 6 parties I went to there, none of them were busted.
Anways, its always amusing at around 6/7am when some people start comming out to give their dogs a morning walk along the beach, and you see their startled look as they come across the party at 6am, psytrance blasting full volume and upwards of 20-50+ people rocking out full tilt dancing their asses off :P They get a big look of 'what the fuck?!' and then keep on walking.

Where i live, miami, its illegal to be in any public park after the sun sets. Fucking stupid if you ask me.
And it doesn't sound like that greatest idea bro. If it worked it would probably be epic, but some kind failure seems almost obvious.

I would just make sure that someone is there checking ID's for alcohol consumption. It probably looks good to the cops if someone is there monitoring who drinks or not. Make sure you can have fires and I don't know really what else to check on.

In the summer theres usually a beach party once a week and they usually get busted once a week. I don't think it would be fun trying to run with your keg to hide it.

I like the words and advice of you guys. I'll be sure to let you know what happens.
You hit the nail on the head. The risk is what makes it epic.
I'm really confident right now, I spent most of the day at the beach today watching what people are doing and what I can expect. I'll go back tonight to watch some more. I'm meeting tomorrow with some people to go over the plan and show them what I have in mind. I think I might have over-counted my numbers because calling around today a lot of people weren't sure if they could make it and now it seems like 40-60 people seems more real. The party is only going six hours from five to eleven and then after parties in other places.
I need this to be epic, that's why I'm doing it and risking so much.
I'll be sure to let you all know what happened.
