The City of Evanston issues both park permits and picnic permits to Evanston residents. The fees and rules vary based on the location, type of activity and size of your gathering. In addition, some permits are issued at the Dempster Street Beach Office and some are issued at the Civic Center. For complete information please visit the Park Permits & Picnics page.
Note: Picnic permits must be purchased before the day of your picnic so the reservation can be posted. Any table not posted as reserved may be used by any person on a first come, first served basis.
