The park may be reserved any day of the regular park season including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-serve basis. Fee is to be paid to the Borough as soon as possible. The reservation will be held for 15 days from the date the Borough Secretary mails the reservation form.
