PARK RENTALS: County Executive Lamont G. McClure and the Division of Parks & Recreation are pleased to announce that as of Jan. 2, the Parks Reservation System is doubling the selections of pavilion rentals to the public at Louise W. Moore, Wayne A. Grube and Wy-Hit-Tuk County parks.

The changes will allow more residents to enjoy our parks and, for the first time, offer lower rates for half-day rentals. The changes will provide half-day rental options for 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. and 2 – 8 p.m. (sunset). Full-day rentals from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. are still an option.

If you are renting a pavilion at Louise W. Moore Park, please note that pavilion numbers have changed from previous years, and the Parks & Recreation Division suggests that you review the pavilion list before you book.

Rentals on the Parks Reservation System are now open for the 2024 season, which opens on Saturday, April 13, and closes on Sunday, Oct. 27. The public can find more information about reserving pavilion rentals on the County website: norcoparks.recdesk.com/Community/Home.
