Section II - Reservations
All groups who wish to use the park and occupy a large shelter will pay a non-refundable fee for such use. This fee applies to borough residents and to those who reside outside of the borough. The fee may be waived for non-profit organizations within the borough limits.
The fee for one large shelter is $75.00. The fee for the whole park which includes the ball field is $150.00.
All large shelter reservations are to be made with the Borough Secretary. No one else can take or confirm reservations.
The park may be reserved any day of the regular park season including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-serve basis. Fee is to be paid to the Borough as soon as possible. The reservation will be held for 15 days from the date the Borough Secretary mails this form. After 15 days, if the fee has not been paid, that reservation becomes available again.
Each large shelter holds approximately 90 people. Other picnic tables and a small shelter are available for use without a reservation. The small shelter holds approximately 15 people.
As the reserving agent, it is your responsibility to see that the shelters are left as clean as your group found them. Clean up before you leave.
