Picnicking

Gebhard Woods provides rustic beauty with five shady picnic areas. These areas are complete with picnic tables and grills. A large shelter with electrical service, water fountain and restrooms nicely located near the playground area is available for reservations to host that special outdoor occasion. A slightly smaller shelter near the front of the park, complete with electricity and nearby drinking fountain and restroom, is available on a first-come, first-served basis. If time allows, join in a baseball game on the diamond, while the smaller children enjoy the playground area. Horseshoe pits also are available near the large shelter.
