Beginning April 1, 2005, some shelters (pavilions) became available on a reserve basis to any individual or entity wanting a location for a specific date. Please note that all shelters are still available on a first-come-first-serve basis at no charge, if the shelter has not been reserved.

— Sign holders have been installed at each shelter and a calendar will be posted weekly indicating reserved dates by listing the name of the individual or entity that paid the reservation fee.

— If a shelter has been reserved through the Parks office by an individual or entity paying the rental fee, then it would not be available to the public on that date. Reservations are for the entire day (from the time the park opens until it closes).

— No shelter may be reserved less than five (5) business days prior to the date of the reservation.

— The person reserving the shelter is responsible for securing any appropriate permits, utility hook ups, decorations or other special requirements.

— Shelter reservations include the standard amenities (picnic tables and trash cans) normally located at each shelter.

— Electricity can be obtained for an additional $30 daily charge from green power boxes located near most shelters.

— All reservations are for the day (from park opening to park closing). Shelters (pavilions) are not available for partial-day or hourly rental.

— Discounts are available to official, documented non-profit organizations.

— A surcharge will be added to the reservation fee for a group from outside McCracken County.
