Shelter & Facility Rentals
All open picnic shelters in the parks are available daily on a first-come basis at no charge.
Shelters are meant for private, non-commercial use only. Gatherings of family and friends, group/church/company picnics are welcome. Bouncy houses or other large set-ups, advertising, soliciting, vendors, and/or food trucks are not permitted.
When possible, to prevent animals from spreading food and trash from waste bins before one of our park technicians gets back to the park, please take trash with you.
