CHAPEL RULES AND REGULATIONS
The Chapel is the only portion of the park that is permitted to be reserved for your event.
The gazebo and remainder of the park are available as a first-come, first-served basis. (Suggestion –
arrive early in the day to establish your desired area of usage.)
We have found that in most cases, other small groups are able to picnic, use the beach and lake
without disturbing your planned activity.
The picnic tables may be moved to the chapel area and are to be returned to their original locations at
the end of your event.
The use of canopies is allowed. A permit is required to set up a tent.
The Chapel does have electricity; sound systems are permitted to be used.
NO FOOD, BEVERAGES, PETS OR LIGHTED CANDLES ARE PERMITTED IN THE CHAPEL AT ANY TIME.
The Chapel is only available for use beginning May 15th and ending October 31st
