Picnic Reservations

Reserve a picnic area, book a special event, or rent the Showmobile.

Picnic tables located in Johnson Park in Piscataway.
​IMPORTANT ALERT - The Parks and Recreation Administration building has been temporarily relocated to 95 Apple Orchard Lane, North Brunswick, 08902. The location at 1030 River Road in Piscataway is closed and is undergoing significant upgrades.

Our main number will remain the same, (732) 745-3900. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Many of our developed parks offer picnic facilities that may be reserved for picnics and special events. A reservation permit must be issued to reserve these areas for all organized group activities.

Picnics

If you are looking to book a picnic in one of our Parks, please allow a minimum of two to four weeks when scheduling use of facilities. It may be useful to review the Frequently Asked Questions for Picnics as well as the two worksheets below for more information about the picnic areas. Please call the reservation desk at (732) 745-3900 to reserve a picnic grove.
 
If you plan on having a caterer, bounce house, or rented tents at your picnic, you must contact the Middlesex County Fire Marshal to see if you are required to get a fire permit. Click here to download the Fire Marshal Permit Application.
