Planning a family reunion, birthday party, or a large group gathering this summer? Consider reserving one of our beautiful picnic areas at Lakeside Park! Our designated picnic sites come with tables, grills, and access to nearby restrooms. To ensure a site is available for your event, you must obtain a permit in advance. Reservations can be made online through our parks portal up to three months in advance. The first step is to check the availability calendar for your desired date and location. Once you find an open slot, you can complete the application and pay the small permit fee online. Permits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that amplified music is not allowed without a separate special event permit.
