A Picnic Permit is required for all groups of 15 or more. There is a fee for the group picnic areas. The group picnic areas must be reserved in advance and will be made available for the exclusive use of the group once the permit is issued. Group picnic areas will be available for the groups exclusive use, rain or shine. Permit holder is liable for all damages to park property located within the reserved area. It is the responsibility of the group to protect park property, preserve trees, flowers and all wildlife; maintain order and keep the area in a clean orderly condition.
