How do I rent a room in a facility, a fieldhouse, or a picnic shelter in a park?
Park District facilities, rooms and picnic shelters are available for rental use when available. Since Park District programs have first priority and use all buildings Monday through Friday, facility spaces are generally more available on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, rentals are not available on legal holidays. Kitchen facilities are designed for limited food preparation as can be accommodated by a range, oven and refrigerator.
A complete list of Facility Rental Documents, including Information, Rates, and
Rental Request Forms is on the right side of this page.
