General Information
In the off-season (roughly late August - early June), the Pavilion may be reserved for small gatherings & parties.  The permit reserves the 3 picnic tables for your gathering.  The park and playground are available and also open to the public. Swimming is prohibited during the off-season. As with all park picnic permits, the park should be used "as is".  No additional tables, tents, chairs, canopies, bounce houses, etc. allowed.  Grilling, open flames and alcohol not permitted.
