Picnic Shelter Reservations

Park shelters are open for reservations from May 1st through October 1st. Park Shelters are available to reserve for small or large group functions and are expected for any use of the Picnic Shelter Area in all Parks. Please reserve early to insure that your requested date and group area are available. Reservations are taken for the new year the first working day of January of that year.  Please understand also that your reservation only covers the park shelter, not the whole park.  You will not be allowed to close gates or ban anyone from coming into the park while your event is going on at the Park Shelter as each park is a public park and all are welcome during park hours from dawn to dusk.  Signs stating that the park is closed for your event will not be permitted either, if you chose to do this you forefit all fees paid.
