Reserve a Picnic Shelter
Montgomery Parks offers covered picnic shelters throughout the county for large and small groups to host picnics or events.
Multiple shelters are located within Regional or Recreational Parks, where there are a variety of amenities and activities for guests. These shelters have picnic tables, grills, and access to permanent restrooms.
The shelters located at all Regional and Recreational Parks and the two Group Picnic Areas at Cabin John Regional Park and Valley Mill Special Park are available by permit only.
Smaller shelters are located within our Local Parks throughout the county.
Picnic shelters are available weekdays and weekends 9am to 8pm from April 1 through October 31 and reservations can be made up to three days before the event.
