For pavilion reservations, please scroll down and select either the Kester Pavilion or the Rotary Pavilion for more information. Pavilion rentals for use April 1-October 31, 2022 can be done ONLINE or IN-PERSON. Please use the 'Pavilion Rental Details' button at the bottom of this page for additional information and procedures.
HOURS OF USE: A pavilion reservation is for the whole day (no hourly rentals) during normal park hours-DAWN TO DUSK. Please be aware that even though the permit you receive will show a rental duration of 8am-8pm, this is due to our reservation system requiring a start and end time and those time-frames are most common. However, when dusk occurs before 8pm, that overrides the permit time and you will need to leave the premises.
REFUNDS: If you cancel 60 days or less prior to your event, the full payment made is forfeited and no refund is available for any reason. NO RAIN DATES. If you reserve and pay for a pavilion, you are doing so with the understanding that our normal refund policy of cancellation will remain in effect. Any requests for a refund must be made 60 days or more from your reservation date in order to be approved. Any renter who cancels, even due to coronavirus COVID-19, made inside of 60 days from the reservation date will not be eligible for a refund. Refunds will only be given inside of the 60 days IF we are unable to provide the pavilion due to closure making it unusable.
Park Facilities
Our Disc golf course located at Poor House Farm Park offers 18 more challenging holes, while the other 9 are more beginner friendly.
Poor House Farm Park features walking/bike trails for those beginner through advanced. Typically it takes a beginner-intermediate biker about 45 minutes to get through the trails. These trails are marked. At this time there is no specific trail map. Looking to the future MBCP&R plans to coordinate with local groups that use these trails frequently to help create a map for all.
One of the features of Poor House Farm Park is the 5-acre pond that is situated behind the barn. The pond contains bass, trout, bluegill, catfish and sunfish.
