$60 per day
“A” Picnic Areas
Picnic areas A2 and A3 are on the west side of the main park near Ramsdell Road. A playground is nearby and restrooms are located at the back of the enclosed shelterhouse.
“B” Picnic Area
Picnic area B2 is more centrally located, between the enclosed and open shelters. This area also uses the restrooms at the enclosed shelter and is near a second playground.
“C” Picnic Areas
Picnic areas C1, C2 and C3 are in a more secluded area of the park, with Bear Creek flowing around the perimeter. A separate playground and restroom facility are nearby. With ample room for tent set-up and a sense of greater privacy, these picnic areas are the most popular in the park for weddings.
