All shelter fees are non-refundable and all reservations are "as is".
Reservations Required
Patrons who attempt to occupy a shelter without a reservation run the risk of having to immediately vacate the shelter upon arrival of an individual possessing a reservation.
Reservation Verification
Please have a copy of your shelter reservation form available to verify your reservation.
Reservation Changes
Changes are subject to $5 processing fee and must be made at least 2 business days in advance of reservation date.
Special Use Permits
Requests for other uses (tents, large group activities, commercial, photographs, etc.) require a Special Use Permit.
No Alcohol

Cleanliness Policy
We strive to keep our parks clean and safe for your health and enjoyment. Even so, to reduce your chances of exposure to germs or chemicals, we encourage you to use general common sense when using our picnic facilities.
We recommend using table coverings, keeping food on plates and in containers, and cleaning hands thoroughly before eating and after direct contact with benches, tables, and other public surfaces.
