All of Blanchard's parks are still first-come, first-serve basis for picnic pavilion usage. However, park users can now rent pavilions, and these park sites are in high demand. Renting a picnic pavilion allows the park user to have some "peace of mind" when preparing a child's birthday party, family reunion, or association gathering at that park.
If you rent a pavilion, then there is no reason to go to the Park to "stake out" your tables or Pavilion ahead of time. The site will be clean and ready upon your arrival.
The Parks are established and maintained as areas of recreation and enjoyment for all of the citizens of Blanchard.
We offer two varieties of picnic pavilions that may be reserved for special events like birthday parties, family gatherings, or corporate functions.
- Large Pavilion (35X60) rents for $20 per Hr.
- Small Pavilion (12x12) rents for $10 per Hr.
Rental hours for a picnic pavilion are 8:00 am to 10:00 pm unless otherwise posted or approved by a special event permit.
Rental fees are based on a by-the-hour period. Use of the Pavilion is guaranteed for the period specified in the permit only.
Event set-up and clean-up time must be included in the rental period. Please take the permit and your receipt with you to park ark on the day of your event.
The remainder of the park will still be open to the public.
