Park Shelter Reservations

Attractive shelter areas for events such as parties, family reunions and company gatherings may be reserved for a fee.  All reservable shelters provide picnic tables, restroom facilities, electrical outlets, lights and water.  Most park shelters are near playgrounds, athletic areas, bike paths, beaches and boat launches. 

Groups interested in reserving a shelter for their event should contact the Parks Office at 266-4711, 
Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:15 p.m.
 
Reservations can only be made in person or over the phone.  Reservations for the following year begin in October of the previous year.  General park shelter questions may be directed to:  llafave@cityofmadison.com

Trash/Refuse:  The Parks Division provides refuse containers in all parks. All park users are expected to pick up their trash and dispose of them in the proper containers.  

Recycling:  Madison Parks Department encourages recycling away from home.  In the parks, please take home the recyclable material you bring to the park.

Alcohol-free Parks:  Tenney Park, James Madison Park, Brittingham Park, Demetral Park and Penn Park are alcohol -free parks.  If you are reserving these parks for an event, you may purchase a permit to bring alcohol to these parks.

Handicap Accessibility
All parks with reservable shelters that have OFF-street parking have the correct number of accessible parking stalls for the size of the parking lot.  All of the shelters are serviced with accessible paths leading from the parking lot to the shelter and restrooms.  If the reservable park/shelter only has ON-street parking, it will have an accessible path leading from the public sidewalk to the shelter and restroom. 

All park restrooms are accessible according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  However, the masonry or concrete walls in some of the older park shelters were prohibitive of renovation.  Where possible and economically feasible, the restrooms have been altered to accommodate wheelchair-bound patrons. When a restroom is built new, the restrooms ARE accessible and the stalls are wide enough.

Shelters with best shelter and restroom accessibility are: Olin Park, Elver Park (new), Warner Park

  Park Staff highly recommends that before reserving a shelter, that you be sure to visit it in advance.

Parking is prohibited on the grass.  Violators will be subject to ticketing.
