Below are some of the frequently asked questions about the parks.
When are the parks open?
All County Parks are open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, from sunrise to sunset.
Can I reserve park facilities for my outing?
Yes and No. We now provide a calendar for each park to allow you to see activities planned at the various parks. You can use the "Reservations" or "Schedule Me" button to request that your event be placed on the calendar. While there is no specific enforcement of who has priority on the use of a facility, it is our hope there will be no planning conflicts. You may want to post a copy of your schedule confirmation at the park's bulletin board or at the venue shortly before your event. And take a copy with you on the day of your event.
What about campfires?
No fires may be laid on the ground in any park, however, some parks provide cooking grills. Park visitors are free to bring their own cooking grills. Please exercise great care to avoid injury to yourselves and damage to park grounds or property.
