Reserve a Picnic Shelter

The Rail Trail under M-20 bridge will be closed and rerouted down Main Street from March 2018 – July 2019 (during the entire bridge construction project). We cannot guarantee access into/out of Chippewassee Park therefore we will not be booking this shelter during construction. For more information, contact Parks and Recreation.

Reservation Policy

We accept year-round picnic shelter reservations 364 days in advance of your event, allowing you to start planning much earlier. Our shelters, available for rent April 15-October 15, provide a unique setting for any events as well as a low-cost option to bring friends and family together in the out-of-doors.
