Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  How do I reserve a shelter in one of the City parks?

A.  To reserve a shelter at Pioneer Park, Frank Park or Riverside Park, please call the Parks office at (308) 630-6235.  To confirm your reservation, you can pick up a confirmation slip at the offices at Riverside Zoo.  It is recommended that you reserve a shelter with as much advance notice as possible to insure the likelihood that the shelter of your choice will still be available.  Shelter reservations can be limited during the the spring and summer months due to frequent usage.
