Picnic Shelter Reservation

Park shelter areas in New Berlin are available for rent for various social gatherings. Reservations for any shelter (available for rent) may be made either online or in-person at the Recreation Department office located on the second floor of New Berlin City Hall (3805 S. Casper Drive, New Berlin, WI 53151). We are unable to "hold" picnic shelters - payment must be submitted at the time of reservation. We do not accept reservations over the phone or by email.  

New Berlin resident requests for picnic shelter reservations are accepted online or in-person starting the second Monday in January at 9:00 AM for the upcoming season. Non-residents may reserve a site starting on the first Monday in March. Picnic sites will not be rented out for Malone Park from June 26 through July 10. This gives sufficient time for park crews to set up and tear down the annual Fourth of July Festival.
