Whether your group is large or small, you will find the perfect spot for a picnic lunch or family gathering. Several picnic sites are available in the park, along with two shelters.

Picnic Shelters

The park offers an enclosed picnic shelter with kitchen facilities and an open shelter with water and electricity. The enclosed shelter is $60 to rent for the day and requires a reservation. It can accommodate up to 60 people. The open shelter can be reserved in advance for $40 or may be used at no cost on a first-come, first-served basis if not reserved. It can accommodate up to 40 people. Both shelters have playground equipment and suit large family gatherings or special outings well.
