Room/Facility Rental Request Form
Park Shelter Reservation Request
Less than 50 people desiring to reserve a picnic shelter at a park location must fill out the Park Shelter Reservation Request Form. A private event is defined as a paid/private group of individuals not open to the general public. Except for the reserved picnic shelter, private events do not have exclusive use of park amenities or facilities, such as a playground, splash pad, or parking lot, and may not turn public users away from our parks.
