Reserve a Shelter

Madison Parks offers large group shelters and many smaller, year-round picnic shelters. Large shelters may offer restrooms (in or nearby), electricity and are generally available mid-April through mid-October (Gates of Heaven and Highland Manor are available year-round). Picnic shelters are reservable or available on a first-come, first-served basis and are open year-round. A few offer seasonal restrooms and electricity.
