Park Shelter Rentals

Rent a Park Shelter for your Special Event

Little Canada’s shelters provide a great location for a family event you may be planning such as a picnic, reunion, reception, or graduation party.

Reservations give park guests exclusive use of the facility stated on the permit for the duration noted on the permit.  Permits may be requested for the current year starting on the first business day each February for Little Canada residents. Non-residents will be able to request a permit beginning the first business day each April. 

  • Facilities are typically available from May 15 to October 15.
  • Rental hours available are 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.

Refund Policy

Refunds are not issues for park shelter reservations.  However, we will work with you to select an alternate date for your special event.

Please Note

These facilities are popular and it is recommended that you make a reservation well in advance of your event.  Reservations will be taken on a 'first come - first served basis'.  

The Ramsey County Sheriff or City Staff will stop by your event to check on facility use compliance.
