Reserve a gazebo or picnic area
The city requires reservations for gatherings of 25 or more and for any gathering with vendor services, including bounce houses or food vendors. Adults reserving a park must be at least 21. Reservations can generally be made from 7 days to 6 months ahead. Unreserved picnic spaces can be used first-come, first-served for groups under 25 without vendors. Visit the official gazebo and picnic reservation page for fees, availability and park-specific conditions. City park hours are generally 7 a.m.–10 p.m. unless posted otherwise.
Find parks by activity
Playgrounds and family outings: check the city’s park locations and amenities before visiting. Sports: use the official sports fields and courts page; gazebo permits do not reserve adjoining fields. Barbecues: charcoal is permitted only in designated park grills; personal propane grills are allowed subject to city rules. Accessible facilities: verify the specific location and accessible features with the city rather than assuming all parks have identical facilities.
