  • No more than two "same table" reservations can be made when using the Park facility every day or evening.  A different table must be reserved after two (2) days or evenings at the same table.
  • The same table cannot be booked for three (3) or more consecutive days.
  • For Large Parties refer to the Wedding and Large Party tab for policies.  Multiple members cannot join table reservations to avoid the Large Event/50 person limit.  If a member violates the maximum number of guests for a single event, whether for their own event or to facilitate others to host such an event, their privilege of reserving a table will be suspended for the remainder of the season.     
  • When making reservations online, the reservation ‘grid’ within the member portal will present the tables that have already been booked so you are able to customize your reservation day, time and desired table.
