It describes a community’s aspirations and identifies strategies for managing preservation and change.

Park Permit and Picnic Site Reservations are Necessary to Guarantee Space for Your Gathering

As we continue to experience great summer weather, gatherings in our beautiful City parks are a community favorite. Group picnic sites and park areas are ideal locations for social gatherings, but these types of activities in our parks require special permits depending on group size and other planned activities, such as amplified sound or inflatables, and are necessary to guarantee the space for your gathering. Visit our website for information on picnic site locations, hours, amenities, and accommodation for add-ons like amplified sound, inflatables, when a Park Permit is needed, and how to reserve a site.
