The Tulare Parks and Recreation Department has many park facilities available to rent for many occasions. To rent a picnic shelter or ballfield, visit the Parks and Recreation office at 830 S. Blackstone Street, inside the Meitzenheimer Community Center. Reservation fees vary from $50 to $95 per shelter. You can also check online to see if a date is available.

Water Play Areas 

Del Lago Park and Mulcahy Park feature water play areas.  Water splash pad hours will begin Memorial Day weekend and will run Friday-Sunday and holidays from 12-7pm.  Due to the drought, the water play areas will not be open the rest of the week.   If mandated, hours may be modified or there is a possibility no splash pads will be turned on. Water Splash pads will be closed for the season beginning the day after Labor Day.
