About

Situated on a hill in East Bank Park at the eastern end of the dam, the shelter offers a covered gathering space with electric service, adjacent restrooms, and ample parking for group events. The facility includes on-site recreation amenities: a basketball goal, a small playground, and a large open grassy area behind the shelter ideal for games and activities. A large playground is located directly across the road. The shelter is popular for family reunions, birthday parties, and community gatherings. This is a day-use facility only. The park closes at sunset, and all guests must vacate by closing time. Reservations are made through Recreation.gov.
