Dolores Park Picnic Application

DOLORES PARK PLAYGROUND CONSTRUCTION ALERT: Note the Dolores Park Playground and Picnic tables began construction in Spring 2011. The tables will remain closed until Summer 2012. There will be no picnic tables available for rental during the time and no children's play areas. Picnic areas will be limited to the grass areas next to the tennis courts and will require hand carrying in all supplies.

Once the playground and picnic tables open, the remainder of the park will close for renovation.

Dolores Park remains one of our most popular and vibrant city parks, drawing thousands of visitors each and every weekend who are looking to enjoy the outdoors, exercise or have a picnic with loved ones.

If your party has less than 25 people and you're not looking to reserve a specific picnic area or table in the park, obtaining a permit isn't necessary. You and your group can lay out a blanket and enjoy the day.

If you do want to reserve a spot for your event, or, if you have more than 25 people, you must complete the application below and obtain a permit.

For all permitted picnics, you would pay a standard fee based on the number of people in your party. For groups under 50 people, the fee is a$27. In addition, for all permitted picnics, we ask that a security deposit of $100 be placed with us to help ensure that the park remains clean, safe and fun for everyone. This is a fully refundable deposit that is returned to you, provided your event is successful and incident-free. Your check is not deposited during this process.

Due to over congestion at Dolores Park, the number and types of larger picnics has been limited. Applications for events at Dolores Park will be reviewed in total taking into account the overall impact on the neighborhood.
