Special Note: Due to the nature of this unusual park, not all activities are appropriate for Annmarie Garden.
The first step to determining if your activity is acceptable is to complete the RENTAL INTEREST FORM.
If your activity is approved, you will then be asked to sign and/or complete the Facility Use Rental Agreement, the Facilities Use Guidelines, and pay the NON-Refundable Reservation Fee and the Refundable Security Deposit.
Only after all these forms/payments have been completed will your activity/event be officially scheduled. For more information, please contact a staff member.
