Over 110 people were at the party, which included a DJ, a bar, food service, numerous hookahs and security personnel, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Photos show dozens of chairs and tables illuminated by lighting and torches within a forested area of the park.

Four organizers were charged with multiple criminal, park and health offenses, authorities said.

The bust comes as authorities crack down on large gatherings and as parts of Brooklyn and Queens see an uptick in coronavirus cases.
