Shelter houses are very heavily used from May through October. The Parks & Recreation Department regrets that we do not have a large enough staff to clean the shelters daily after each event. If you are planning an event in one of the shelters we ask that you visit it a day prior to be sure of the location and amount of tables available to you. We ask that you do not move tables from other shelters or from park grounds because reunions and picnics are most likely planned for those areas also. We appreciate your help in keeping the areas clean. If you find a problem with one of the shelters please contact the Parks & Recreation office at 740-772-5626.
