Important Changes to Picnic Reservations for 2012

Picnic sites are available for use and reservation May 5 to October 8, 2012.  A minimum 4 hour reservation is required and submission of an application request a minimum of 4 business days in advance of the reservation date requested (all applications received with less than 4 business days notice of the requested date will not be processed or responded to). 

Failure to agree to the terms and conditions stated prior to completing the application process will deem the request to be “invalid”.

First-come, first-served picnic sites are allocated for your use in the event that you choose to not reserve a site, require less than a 4 hour reservation or for less than 4 business day application submissions from the date requested.  The first-come, first-served picnic sites are free of charge.

Refunds will not be issued for inclement weather, fire ban or conditions that do not warrant closure of the park.  Request to cancel your reservation must be received a minimum of 16 days prior to the reserved date in order to receive a partial refund. Cancellation requests meeting the 16 day notification will receive a refund, less a 5% administration fee.  All requests for cancellation received with less than the required 16 day notice are exempt of refund.  Cancellations resulting from park closures will receive 100% refund.

Vehicle Access (permission to drive on grassed areas) will no longer be offered at Rundle Park and will be restricted in other parks to designated sites.

Inflatable equipment will be permitted at Hawrelak and Victoria Park designated sites only.

Due to completion of the Jackie Parker Park revitalization project in 2011, the fees in 2012 fees will be consistent with the standard hourly rates applied for picnic reservations.

Borden Park is closed for 2012 due to the park revitalization project, however, the tennis courts will remain open for public use.

Picnic reservations for Mill Woods Park are no longer required.  The sites are available for use on a first-come, first serve basis.
