Park Shelter Facilities

Need a great place to host your family reunion, birthday party, reception or company picnic? St. Cloud's central location makes it the perfect spot for any type of event. St. Cloud Park and Recreation has many facilities available for your group, large or small. Whether you choose an informal setting on the Mississippi River or a more upscale venue in the heart of the city, we have a spot for you. Shelter rentals are booked in 6 hour blocks: 9:00 am to 3:00 pm or 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Rent both blocks for your all day event!

Lions Park boasts an enclosed shelter suitable for more intimate family and work gatherings of up to 50 people from May 1st through September 30th.

Wilson Park
Wilson Park in northeastern St Cloud, also on the mighty Mississippi, commonly hosts groups up to 1000! Choose this park for your summer gathering between May 1st and September 30th.

All shelter reservations are available in 6 hour blocks; from 9am to 3pm or from 4pm to 10pm. Book both blocks for your all day event! Groups that have fewer than 75 people qualify for a half shelter rental at Riverside and Wilson Parks, if they choose; however, a second group may then share the shelter. There is no physical divider between the two sections/groups.
