The City of Peterborough has three covered pavilions that are great places to host family reunions, company picnics, anniversary celebrations, weddings, rehearsals, showers, birthday parties and other special occasions.
Our pavilions can be booked by completing the Special Events Planning Guide and Application. Before completing the application, you may inquire about availability with the Recreation Division.
To restrict non-essential public gatherings there will be no public permitting for outdoor facilities from now until the end of May 2021. In early May the City of Peterborough Emergency Control Group will review current COVID-19 status and Peterborough Public Health guidelines and make a decision to adjust the policy, or continue with no permitting until further notice.

Picnic tables
We provide picnic tables; however, we keep them chained together. You will need a key if you wish to move them. You can pick up a key one week prior to your event. We require a $25 credit card deposit; you will receive a refund when you return the key.
Note: you must return and lock the tables in their original location at the end of your event.
