The Meadows is a wide open, flat space to the west of The Ruins and The Terraces. This is the perfect area for games and activities that require a large grassy area. It is an inviting spot to toss a Frisbee or fly a kite.

There are several picnic pavilions available in The Lakes area of Ariel-Foundation Park. The two largest pavilions may be reserved for community or family events such as family reunions, birthday parties, 5K races, or meeting areas for civic groups. Please be aware that these venues are in high demand. Reservations are made months in advance and we cannot guarantee availability on your desired date.

The Park National Bank Pavilion has a capacity of 256. The cost is $50. The Kiwanis Pavilion can hold up to 40 and is free. Both pavilions are equipped with lighting and electrical outlets. Both are close to restrooms and have ample parking.

The smaller picnic pavilions are available and may be used without reservations. All pavilions offer gorgeous scenic views of The Lakes and The Woods areas of the park.

There is a charge of $20 to bring your own grill to any pavilion.

Expectations for personal use of small picnic pavilions:

• No gatherings over 10 people
• Use a tablecloth and/or disinfect the tables and benches when done.
• Place trash/recycling in proper bins or take it with you.
• If these expectations cannot be met, small pavilions will be closed.
