Reservation Information
Reservations are handled in a two-stage process:
Stage 1 - "Advance Sign-up" Period:
Every year in September, the department will send out Advance Reservation Letters and Applications to Veteran’s Groups and Senior Groups to give these groups priority in reserving those buildings designated for their groups. Reservations can only be made for the following calendar year, and the deadline to return the advance reservation applications is November 1. If you are part of a qualifying group and have not received this information by the end of September, contact the Parks Division Office.
Stage 2 - "Regular Sign-up" Period:
Beginning on December 1, all other groups can request to reserve buildings on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations can only be made for the following calendar year, and a minimum of 30 days advance notice is necessary for most reservations. To make a reservation:
- Option 1: Fill out the online reservation form
- Option 2: Call or visit the main Parks Division Office
Please enjoy your visit and thank you for caring for these valued public facilities.
