Can I reserve an area of a County Park for a private event, such as a wedding or birthday party?

Kitsap County Parks are a great place to hold an event, like a wedding or a child's birthday party.  Picnic shelters are available to reserve, but other areas of the park are open to the public and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Guests to a County Park cannot be prohibited from entering or using a open area of a park during your event.

Please note: If you do plan use any kind of canopy or tent for an event, these items cannot be staked into the ground, due to possible damage to our irrigation system and must be weighted-down with sandbags, water jugs, or other weights.
