Picnic Shelter Reservations and Events

Shelter Reservations

 

Picnic shelters can be reserved for events taking place April 1 through Oct. 31 in five regional parks and six community parks. 

The one exception is at Vancouver Lake Regional Park, where picnic shelters can be reserved from Memorial Day weekend through October 31. The ground at Vancouver Lake Regional Park tends to remain soggy until the end of May.

Picnic shelters must be reserved at least seven days before the event date.

You will need to create an account to use the system. Frequently asked questions about online registration can be found at the bottom of the online reservations page. Once you are registered, click on the reservations button near the upper left corner of the screen to reserve picnic shelters.

Phone reservations also can be made by calling 564.397.2285. Then press option #1 to reach the reservations desk for picnic shelter reservations and parking passes.

Reservation fees for picnic shelters vary depending on the size of the shelter. The revenue helps pay for parks maintenance and operations.

Picnic shelters not reserved will remain available for free on a first-come, first-served basis.

Reservations are not required for non-exclusive use of parks facilities. They are available free of charge, on a first-come, first served basis, unless the facility is reserved for exclusive use or special event. If your special event requires exclusive use to ensure a particular facility is available and ready upon your arrival, a reservation is highly recommended.

Reservations help county parks staff coordinate with other events to ensure your exclusive use and provide adequate information to properly prepare for the event.

All shelters are available on a first-come, first-served basis at no charge, Nov. 1 through March 31.

Shelter Reservation Cancellation Policy

If canceled one month or more before the rental date, 100% of the fee minus a $10 processing fee will be refunded. If canceled 1-4 weeks before the rental date, 75% of the fee minus a $10 processing fee will be refunded. No refunds will be granted if canceled less than one week prior to the rental date.
