Suffolk Parks & Recreation has a variety of park shelters available for day rentals at locations around the city. The shelters are the perfect place to host your next birthday party, church picnic, company get-together or family reunion. Shelter rentals are available year-round.

Shelter rentals are open to both residents and non-residents of Suffolk and reservations can be made 365 days in advance. The latest a shelter reservation can be made is 3 days prior to the reservation date (Saturday reservations can be made no later than the Wednesday prior).

How to Reserve a Shelter: 

1. Review the size and price sheet.

2. Confirm the park and shelter location for your rental.

3. Review the rental rules and regulations.

Refund Policy: There are no refunds for park shelter rentals. If there are unfavorable weather conditions on the day of your rental, please contact the administration office within 5 business days after your reservation. The shelter rental fee will be credited to your parks and recreation account for later use. There are no indoor accommodations available in which a shelter rental can be transferred.
