Indoor pools, gym, and courts. About 10 minutes away.
Reserving the pavilion
The large pavilion at Shooting Star Park can be reserved through Washington City for a fee. Everything else in the park (the playground, courts, and trail) is first come, first served and can't be reserved.
- Applications are online only. The city won't take a pavilion reservation over the phone or in person.
- Apply at least 7 days before your event.
- The fee is $50 per 4-hour block. Confirm it with the city before you count on it.
- City code requires a reservation for gatherings of 25 or more people.
- No water games, pools, water obstacle courses, or slip & slides.
- Bounce house, pop-up tents, or a speaker? That spills past a normal pavilion booking, so the city wants a Limited Activities Permit instead, filed at least 20 days ahead (under 199 people).
- Planning something bigger, with vendors, amplified sound, or road closures? That's a Special Event Permit, and it needs 45 days' notice.
- Pavilion rental application (online) (opens in a new tab)
Washington City's online form. This is the only way to book - the city won't take it by phone or in person.
