24 people or less: Reservation not required; however, park areas/picnic tables that are not reserved as part of a paid reservation are only available on a first-come, first-served basis. This rule does not apply to weddings or walks (see above). Small groups who wish to guarantee a particular park area, must make application and payment following the above procedures. Paid reservations take priority.
