Park Permits

Reserve your picnic area for your next social gathering by obtaining a park permit.

When you obtain a permit, we take extra care to make sure the area you reserved is clean and orderly. If another group is in your spot, by authority of the permit, they must relinquish the site to you. Permits are required for groups of 15 or more.

Please Note: Sites are based on size and/or the amenities of the park. We have a $50 refundable security deposit for all park permits. This is in addition to the fees listed for the parks below.
