Form
Less than 100 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 an invitation-only 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. PARK SHELTER RESERVATION REQUEST FORM Community Events are open to the public or events with more than 100 participants. Examples of applicable events include a 5K run, charity event, or corporate function with more than 100 people.
Community Events may not be promoted until final approval is granted. There is a $50 application fee for these types of events. Please read the handbook prior to filling out the application.
