Shelter 3, located near the playground in Antelope Park, is open and ready for picnics Spring-Fall.  

These structures are open to enjoy the park atmosphere. Perfect for Spring-Fall events!

Shelters that have electrical access, an electrical key is a $20.00 cash/check security deposit and can be checked out 2 business days prior to event date. From the time restrooms are closed in the fall until they are opened in the spring, open shelters are still reservable for exclusive use/private celebrations, and unless reserved, can still be used in a shared use capacity during park operating hours.

Open shelter reservations can be made year-round, however, they are not as popular during the winter or fall.
