Pavilion Rentals
All BREC parks are still first-come, first-serve for picnic
pavilion usage. Since BREC park sites are in high
demand, park users can now rent a pavilion. Renting a picnic pavilion allows the patron(s) to secure space when preparing a party, family reunion or association gathering at the park. If you rent a pavilion, then there is no reason to go to the park to “hold” your tables and pavilion ahead of time. The site will be clean and ready upon your arrival.
The following parks have pavilions (2 or more tables) available to rent.
ANNA T. JORDAN COMMUNITY PARK FOREST COMMUNITY PARK GREENWOOD COMMUNITY PARK HIGHLAND ROAD COMMUNITY PARK HOWELL COMMUNITY PARK INDEPENDENCE COMMUNITY PARK JEFFERSON TERRACE PARK
NORTH SHERWOOD FOREST COMMUNITY PARK PERKINS ROAD COMMUNITY PARK
ZACHARY COMMUNITY PARK
Each pavilion rental includes one auxiliary permit
for use of dry inflatable, canopy/tent, or cooking apparatus. Auxiliary item and pavilions rental restrictions will be discussed at time of rental. If you are not renting a pavilion or want to add an additional auxiliary item, it is a $10 non-refundable fee. Pavilion rentals may be requested on-site for small groups.
• Inflatable Rental Company must have BREC listed as co-insured with $1 million liability coverage; a copy of the insurance policy must be included with the application.

Groups of 30 to 500 must have a pavilion rental agreement or apply for a special event permit.
