The group pavilion has many amenities not commonly found at most pavilions. It has a natural gas powered barbeque grill, the requisite briquette grill, a gas fire pit and running water. The pavilion hosts 16 picnic tables that are of a heavy cast iron design. If you need them in a specific arrangement, contact the admin authority to see what they can do. The ceremony site is about 200ft North of the pavilion in the meadow. The park staff regularly mows this wild grass area for ceremonies. The rest of the meadow is full of tall grass. You use any direction as your background, but the best view is probably looking up towards Kruger Rock. The open space also hosts 74 standard campsites and 13 cabins if you’re looking for nearly full service outdoor experience. The rental is for the entire day, not hourly blocks. The parking area isn’t small, but it’s also not large. Some degree of carpooling would be recommended if you’re reaching up towards 100 or more guests. The staff at the open space is fairly active and it’s frequent that you’ll see them busying about with their tasks. That is to say that this is a well taken care of area. The arch shown in some of the photos is not included in the rental nor is it permanently onsite.
