We live in the most perfect place for outdoor celebrations. If you're considering hosting a spring or summer gathering at a local park, there's one thing you should do right now: reserve a pavilion.

Colorado has some incredible (and highly visited) parks, and that luxury comes with stiff competition for covered table space, especially on those scorching summer days-- and rainy afternoons! If a shelter is not reserved, it is available to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.

Skip the stress of not knowing whether a pavilion is available on your preferred date by reserving your timeslot ahead of time. To help you plan your event, here are nearly two dozen park pavilions available for reservations right here in the Denver Tech Center communities of Englewood, Greenwood Village, and Centennial, Colorado.
