City of Gillette announces online Park Reservation Service

The City of Gillette is proud to announce online parks reservations. This service allows the public to reserve parks at their own convenience.  The growing demand for park reservations prompted the development of this service, and it allows the public to log in and reserve a park or shelter at night or on the weekend.  However, if you have any problems with online park reservations, do not hesitate to contact the Parks Division at (307) 686-5320.

 Keep in mind: If there will be consumption of alcohol you are required to obtain an Alcohol Permit from the City Clerk's office by calling 686-5210. This permit cannot be obtained through online park reservations - you must contact the City Clerk's office.
