New Shelter Rules and Regulations:

(1) No glass at any events held at one of our shelters. There are a lot of "little hands, feet and paws" that come through the parks and we want to avoid the possibility of anyone getting hurt.
(2) You must carry out all of your trash. Please be responsible and leave the shelters as clean or cleaner than when you arrived. Please help keep our parks beautiful!
(3) Reservations are posted on the monthly calendar displayed in each of the shelter kiosks. If you find someone using the shelter when you arrive, please reference the calendar to let them know that you paid to reserve the shelter in advance.
(4) Montpelier Parks are all designated non-smoking areas.
(5) Dogs are required to be leashed on all roads open to motor vehicle traffic, as well as at parking areas and shelters.

Please note: the water fountain is currently on.
