Shelter Reservation Policy
- All shelter reservations are to be paid for within two weeks of reserving. If not
paid, your reservation will not be held.
- Cancellation policy: If a cancellation occurs before 30 days of a paid reservation,
all but $15.00 will be returned. If less than a month before the reservation, no
refund will be made.
- The shelters need to be cleaned before being vacated at 12:00 Midnight. A minimum
fee of $100.00 will be charged if the shelter is left dirty and park employees need
to clean the shelter after the reservation.
- All enclosed shelters have electronic code entry and you will receive the code with
your confirmation letter.
- Shelter reservations may be made no earlier than one year from the date you are
requesting. This is calendar dates, not calendar days. Example: If you want to reserve
a shelter for June 6 next year, you may not reserve it until June 6 this year. If
June 6 falls on a weekend or holiday, you must reserve it on the next working day
following the weekend or holiday.
- New in January 2014, you may now reserve consecutive days up to 1 year in advance
of the initial day all at the same time for your event.
For those individuals that do a partial day rental the day before their main event
and are leaving the facility
“set-up” is subject to the below hour restrictions:
- 4 consecutive hours - after 6:00 PM
- 8 consecutive hours - after 2:00 PM
- Enclosed shelter hours are 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 Midnight.
- South Park open shelter hours are 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Special Park Facility Use Application & Permit
If you are going to have anything out of the ordinary for your event, such as a tent or a bouncy house (which requires insurance),
at least 6-8 weeks prior to your event you will need to complete and submit a SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION.
If you’re not sure, take a look at the permit application.
