Park shelters can only be reserved for Saturdays and Sundays, at El Toro, Pittsford, and Serrano Creek Parks. Reserving a Park (fewer than 50 people) The City allows community members to reserve park shelters for gatherings of fewer than 50 people. There is a nominal reservation fee of $25 for this privilege. (Non-residents will be charged a $150 reservation fee.) The shelters at Pittsford, Serrano Creek, and El Toro Parks can be reserved by going on-line at www.lakeforestca.gov In order to complete an online shelter booking, you will need a family account.

Patrons should keep in mind that a message saying a particular park shelter is not available on a requested date means the shelter has already been reserved for that day. Currently, the City allows one party reservation per weekend day.
Once a shelter reservation has been made, the date cannot be changed.
Park shelter reservations are not taken over the phone.Walk-in park shelter reservations are available with two weeks minimum notice of the desired party date. Both online and walk-in shelter reservations cannot be made more than 90 calendar days ahead of your desired party date.
