Bur-Mil Park Picnic Shelters

To get the shelter of your choice, we strongly recommend that you reserve it. A reservation ensures that your group will have the shelter of your choice on the day and time that you choose. Shelters are reserved by half days and full days. Half days run from 8 am to 2:30 pm and 3:30 pm to sunset. The shelter rental cost is based on the number of people in your group. We accept cash, checks, Master Card, Visa, Discover, and American Express. Here's a map of the park. 

Guilford County school groups receive a discount and must call the office at 336-373-3805 to make a reservation. Be sure to read the shelter rules and regulations prior to reserving your shelter to make sure what you are planning is allowed. 

Planning a race or walk? If you are planning an event that will use the park's trails for walking, running or a bike race, please call the park office at 336-373-3819 to make your reservation.
