Reservoir Park
Pavilion Rental
While Reservoir Park does not offer first come, first serve picnic areas, it does offer rental picnic pavilions perfect for family, friends and co-workers and also serve an important role in source water protection. Through their innovative butterfly roof design, the pavilions serve as rain catchers. Water is captured and naturally filtered through bioretention basins before entering the reservoir, a vital source of drinking water for the community. The pavilions include tables, grills and electricity. The pavilions are available for all day rentals from 9:00 AM-7:00 PM or one hour prior to sunset, whichever comes first.
Alcoholic beverages are not permitted in the park.
Large pavilions will be available for rent starting March 16, 2025. Booking is now open.
Smaller pavilions will be available for rent beginning in Spring 2025.
