Park Reservation Application & Information

Although there are numerous parks within the City limits, there are only a few parks for which reservations for park structures are accepted for weddings, reunions, and other various activities. These are The Big Oak Gazebo (Elizabeth Ireland Poe Park), Thomasville Rose Garden Gazebo, Cherokee Lake Park Pavilion #1, and Francis Weston Park Pavilion. All other park structures are available to be used on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please note that when reserving a park, you are, in fact, reserving specific structures and that portion of the park where they are located. Because all city parks are public property, your reservation does not constitute exclusive use of the entire park area in total.

For more information or questions regarding park reservations, please call (229) 227-7059 or e-mail Reserveapark@thomasville.org.

A reservation cannot be officially put on the calendar until all forms are completed and payment has been made. All reservations may be scheduled through the City of Thomasville Marketing Department by completing a Park Reservation Application.

All reservations must be made at least ten (10) business days in advance. Reservations will be accepted 11 months in advance. Any changes such as change of date, facility, time, etc., MUST be in writing and signed by the person who made the initial request.

Park hours of availability are from sunrise to sunset. Reservations are not accepted during major city-sponsored events like Thomasville’s Rose Show & Festival or during major holidays (for example, July 4th, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc.); however, the park is a public place and can be utilized if the area is not already in use.
