Frequently Asked Questions
Is music permitted?
Music is permitted. It cannot exceed 60 decibels; therefore, if the music can be heard in the parking lot, it is too loud. If you use a public address system other than for a disk jockey, a Special Use Permit may be required.
Are the shelters heated?
The only source of heat is the fireplaces. The fireplaces sometimes take the chill off; however they don't truly warm the buildings in winter.
Is wood provided for use in the fireplaces?
Wood is provided; however, the group must provide their own kindling and start the fire themselves.
Can I come look inside the shelter ahead of time?
You can look through the windows but we do not have staff available to open the shelters for viewing ahead of time.
Are the shelters wheelchair accessible?
Both shelters are fully accessible.
