Reserve A Shelter
Shelter reservations are available online for Hyde, Krug, and Bartlett Parks between April 15 and October 15. Reserve your shelter online or contact us at 271-5500. Shelters located at the other parks do not require a reservation and are on a first-come, first-serve system. The Treehouse for Everyone at Bartlett Park and the Liberty Oak Splash Park at Hyde Park are not reservable. For more information about reserving a shelter download these instructions for shelter reservations (PDF). All park restrooms will close at approximately 8:00pm.
Adopt-A-Park Program
The Adopt-A-Park and Adopt-A-Parkway/Trail programs were initiated to protect and enhance St Joseph’s neighborhood Parks and Parkways. We can accomplish this by partnering with citizen volunteers who want to make a difference in ensuring St Joseph’s Parks and Parkways are clean and maintained. This can be a rewarding experience which only requires your time and effort.
