Shelters, park restrooms, fountains opening for season

April 9, 2019

Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department will be opening all outdoor shelters and park water fountains and restrooms for the season.

The shelters and restrooms will re-open Monday, April 15. The restrooms and shelters were closed during the winter months to avoid water freezing in pipes, as well as allowing for general maintenance to be performed on the facilities.

Shelter reservations are currently being accepted at any Parks and Recreation facility for dates no more than one year from the desired reservation date between Monday, April 15- Wednesday, Oct. 30. There are also several indoor facilities available for year-round rental to accommodate reception, shower and party needs.
