Reserving Group Shelters
Perfect for birthday parties, graduation parties, family reunions and more, large group shelters are available in eight CWPD parks. Shelters are reservable beginning at noon on the first business day in January for the current year. Reservations may be made online for shelter use during the months of April through October. Please contact us if you would like to reserve a shelter for use during the months of January, February, March, November or December.
How to Reserve
You may also reserve a shelter in person with cash, check or credit card during regular office hours (8 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday – Friday). Our office is located at Activity Center Park, 221 N. Main St. Reservations are not available via phone at this time.
Centerville/Washington Township residents, when you create your online account to reserve a shelter, please list Dayton as the city in your address so the system can recognize you as a resident.
The Centerville-Washington Park District reserves the right to cancel any reservation that exceeds the specified shelter capacity and/or any unpermitted commercial or for-profit activity.
Shelters are available for use on a first-come, first-served basis when not reserved. Parks are open during daylight hours.
