Family Picnic Areas
Family Picnic Areas |
Rancho San Rafael Park's several Family Picnic Areas are free to use on a first come, first served basis. The consist of a picnic table, a Bar-B-Que grill and a trash container These guidelines were developed for those responsi- ble for coordinating group picnics at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park. We hope these few regulations will assist you in having a successful event and also will help us in maintaining park resources for future generations. Please leave picnic areas essentially as clean as you found them. All trash and litter should be put in trash receptacles; extra liners my be obtained from a Ranger if needed. Tables should be returned to their original locations. If grills need to be emptied of ashes during your event, please contact a Ranger. Never use trash receptacles for this purpose. Turf is difficult to maintain in areas that receive high usage, especially in hot weather. Help us keep Ran- cho San Rafael green by not dumping ice on the grass (put it in ponds or ditches), by not tossing eggs, or painting markers of any kind on the lawns. Vehicles are not allowed on the turf at any time unless prior approval has been received from the Park Ranger. Dunk tanks, slip-n-slides, pinatas, confetti/glitter, helium, air and water balloons are NOT allowed. Please check with the Park Ranger prior to pounding anything into the turf as sprinkler lines and heads are easily damaged and costly to re- pair. PLEASE NOTE: AMPLIFIED MUSIC IS NOT ALLOWED IN WASHOE COUNTY PARKS. Your group must be out of the park at closing times; therefore alcoholic beverages should not be served during the last hour of your event. Other games, ac tivities etc., should also conclude to allow time for clean-up and loading. Please leave pets at home as they are not allowed in the picnic areas or on the turf and it is unwise to leave them in vehicles. Your cooperation and assistance with the above guidelines is greatly appreciated. |
