Fall 2024 Rec Guide

PARK SHELTER RENTALS Reservations for park shelters may be made as early as one year in advance, but no later than 5 days in advance of intended use. If you desire to use a shelter but missed the 5-day advance reservation cut-off, non-reserved open-air shelters are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Payment is required at the time of reservation. Fees vary according to the size of the shelter. Shelters are available for rent year-round; however, restroom and water amenities are seasonal.

For more information on shelter rentals or to reserve, visit icgov.org/EventFacilities or call 319-356-5100.
