Canton Parks and Recreation offers 24 outdoor shelters, perfect for gatherings, picnics, and special events.
Shelters are available in our parks throughout the city, providing picnic tables, grills, and scenic surroundings for an enjoyable outdoor experience. Rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and reservations are required to secure your preferred date and location. Fees vary depending on the shelter size and amenities, with both half-day and full-day rental options.
To reserve a shelter, visit our website or call the main office. Payment is required at the time of booking, and renters must follow all park rules and regulations. Shelters are available for use from spring through fall, with specific dates depending on weather conditions. Some locations may offer electricity, restrooms, playground, and spray park access, so check individual park details before booking.
