In detail

How a reservation at Lake Cliff Park works, based on the city's reservation pages.

  1. Contact the reservations office.

    Call 214-670-8740, Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, or fill in the Reservation Request form on dallasparks.org. Staff then contact you to complete the booking.

  2. Budget for the picnic site.

    The fee is $30 per hour and the minimum is four hours. The city's list shows the Lake Cliff site with 4 tables and a pavilion.

  3. Plan without power.

    The city says electrical outlets are not available at its picnic pavilions.

  4. Share the park.

    A picnic reservation covers the tables and shelter only. It does not give a group the whole park, the parking or the other facilities.

  5. Reserve a ball field separately.

    The city lists a non-lighted baseball field and a softball field at Lake Cliff. Organized team practice or play without a reservation is prohibited.
