Reservations are processed in the order received during regular business hours. When checking the availability of a date and/or site, that availability is subject to change without notice. Picnic shelter reservations are confirmed when we receive a completed application along with payment and a permit is issued.

All picnic shelters are closed from October through April of each year. You are welcome to call Pierce County Parks at (253) 798-4000 (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.to 4 p.m.) to check on the availability of dates.  


Large group special events and car shows require a Special Use Request in addition to a shelter reservation application.
