Planning a summer gathering? Please remember that all covered picnic shelters in Lakeshore city parks require a reservation for any group of ten or more people. This policy helps us manage our public spaces and ensure they are available for everyone to enjoy. You can reserve a shelter up to one month in advance by visiting the City Services website and navigating to the 'Park Permits' section. Once your reservation is confirmed, you will receive a digital permit. Please have this permit accessible on your phone, as a park ranger may ask to see it. Smaller, uncovered picnic tables do not require a reservation and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
