Rent the park
You may rent select areas of a park for events, such as celebrations of life, weddings, BBQs of 50 or more people. Park rentals are limited to privately reserving green spaces, gazebos, and picnic areas. Beaches or booking the park in its entirety are not permitted, as these are spaces meant for public enjoyment. Please note that school trips to the park do not require a booking.
Complete the park rental permit application and return to:
