RULES FOR RESERVING SHELTERS AT OLD MILL PARK The Savanna Park District is pleased to allow groups to reserve the Shelter Houses at Old Mill Park. Currently there is NO CHARGE for bookings. However, due to the amount of money invested in these shelters, any damage to a shelter will be assessed to the group booking the shelter. The Park District asks that the groups be aware of the following: 1. We have had the shelters cleaned and reserved for your group. Because we have limited staff, sometimes you may need to do a little 'fine-tune' cleaning for your group. Please pick up all litter and clean up after your group. 2. We also do not charge for electric at the shelters. There is 'electric service' provided at all shelters. Again this is for your convenience in keeping foods warm. 3. You may reserve the shelter exactly one year in advance for your next year's reunion or get-together. Do not assume that your group will automatically have the shelter reserved even if you have been coming for many, many years. We are not sure that every group will reserve year-after-year; therefore, this is one consideration that must be made. We ask that you personally contact the Park Custodian (815/273-4549) and make the reservation. The Reservation Book is kept at Old Mill Park . If you reach the Park's answering machine, please leave the following information and ask that the Custodian return your call with a confirmation. This clears up any misunderstandings. If he does not hear from you, he will assume that the shelter can be reserved for another group. If your group is small, please only reserve ½ of a shelter so that others can enjoy the privilege. INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR BOOKING SHELTERS A. Name of Shelter - Shelters Available: Plum Pavilion - (Shelter over the ditch) B. Name of Group C. Name of Contact Person D. Phone Number/s of Contact Person E. Number of Persons in Your Group F. Date and Time of Event 4. Sometimes groups ask if there is anything that they can do for the Park District. Groups are always welcome to make donations for items, such as, new benches, trash containers, trees, playground equipment, etc. If you would like more information, please contact the Park District Office SAVANNA PARK BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS |
