Let us share in your special day! West Side Park, Centennial Park, Porter Park, and Douglass Park are all available for wedding rentals.
Any event or wedding for over 250 persons will require a written proposal from the renter detailing the proposed event. Additional fees may be required for large events to provide for additional Park District logistical and operational expenses. The only parks permitted for weddings or large outdoor events are West Side Park, Park, Centennial Park, Porter Park, and Douglass Park as many of the other parks do not have the amenities, services, or space to host a wedding or large event.
