PARKS PAVILIONS Host your next outdoor gathering at a park!

Looking for a fun and unique location to hold an outdoor get-together? City of Brownsville Parks have outdoor pavilions and picnic shelters in a variety of sizes for ideal casual meetings and celerbations.

While nearly all of City Of Brownsville Parks have individual picnic tables you can use for free on a first come first serve basis for impromptu picnics, you will need to make a pre-paid reservation in advance if you wish to utilize a pavilion and its amenities on a specific date and time for a gathering or special event.

Visit btxparks.com to research available options. To check availability, reserve, and pay for a shelter call us at (956) 547-6860. Gatherings of 10+ or individual solicitations, outreach or 1st amendment activities that may draw a crowd requires a Special Activities Agreement as per city ordinance. Gatherings of less than 10 may use unoccupied areas on a first come first serve basis, if there is no reservation. You may also drop in at the Downtown Rec Center Offices (1338 E. 8th St) to ask for assistance and information. Staff is available Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 to 5 p.m.
