Unless a park or athletic field is reserved, amenities at CSD parks and fields traditionally are available to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.  (Organized groups sponsored by the CSD have priority use of the parks or playing fields, unless reserved.)

Park reservations enable renters or staff to inform the public that the picnic area is reserved; however, reservations are not for exclusive use and the park remains open to the general public.  Athletic field rentals reserve use of the playing field.

Persons using CSD facilities must abide by applicable CSD policies, regulations and guidelines, state and federal law, county ordinances, and instructions and directions of authorized CSD employees.
