Carondelet Park is a beautiful spot for a picnic. The third largest city park has many interesting features, such as Boathouse and Horseshoe lakes, which were both drained and renovated in 2000. Both lakes are stocked for fishing. The three picnic grounds are close to the the playground, lighted baseball diamond, softball diamonds and tennis courts.
All picnic areas accommodate large groups of people...the smallest holds 250 people and the largest is for about 400.
The rental fee guarantees your group the picnic ground from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Signs at each picnic site will have your group's name on it. One site has electricity. Live music is prohibited. The Parks Division suggests each group make a trip to the park to view the sites in person before calling for rental information. A sign at each site gives the numer of the picnic ground.
Picnic sites are in the middle of the park...Picnic Ground #1 is on Loughborough Drive. Picnic site 1A is on Grand Drive and the third, the Quarry, is off Holly Hills Drive.
Picnic reservations can be made a year from the date being requested. Due to call volume, you may have to try several times to get through on the picnic reservation line.
Reservations cannot be checked or made on-line.
For information and reservations, call the Parks Division at 314 289-5330 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday - Friday.
