Looking for a place to host your next special event? Then consider a pavilion at a Prince William County park or a county historic site.
According to a release, Prince William County Department of Parks and Recreation has 30 pavilions throughout the county, that can accommodate between 20 to 200 people, depending on the pavilion.
“There’s no better place to relax with friends than a park,” stated Parks and Recreation spokesman Brent Heavner.
Several of the available park and pavilion spaces have on-site grills, picnic tables, and benches.
“People who rent pavilions should remember that personal grills are not allowed at any county park.
Depending on the location, parks with pavilions offer amenities that include restrooms, playgrounds, tennis courts, trails, mini golf, batting cages, marinas, volleyball courts and horseshoe pits,” stated a release.
The pavilions are open between March 1 and November 1 every year.
“Alcohol is permitted at many of the pavilions across the county, provided people have paid any required Parks and Recreation fees and obtained the necessary Alcoholic Beverage Control license,” stated a release.
In addition to the county’s pavilions, the county’s Historic Preservation Division also offers historic sites for weddings, parties, and other event rentals.
