- Please, do not hang or adhere anything to the Pavilion.
- Inflatable bounce houses are NOT allowed at any of the park properties due to liability issues.
- Since the Pavilion is open for general use when not rented, you may have to ask folks to leave when your reservation time begins.
- All park rules apply, including, but not limited to; non-use of amplified sound/music, non-use of charcoal grills, non-use of tobacco/vape products and/or alcoholic beverages. Please review the comprehensive park rules before your visit: https://www.keypenparks.com/park-rules.html.
- If you have an emergency during your rental time, please call 911. For non-emergency, but trash-related or restroom maintenance issues, call (253)-225-9552 for the Parks and Facilities Manager.
