The Department of Parks and Recreation will soon begin accepting reservations for picnic and overnight camping permits for the 2016 Season.

If you’ve never booked a reservation before, be advised there is an unofficial, time-honored tradition in Greenwich that begins with an all-nighter in the Town Hall Parking lot. Every January, Greenwich residents leave nothing to chance in order to ensure their picnic and overnight island camping reservations for the summer.

All fees must be paid in full at the time of reservation. We accept Cash (exact-change only please), Checks (made payable to: “Town of Greenwich”), and Visa, Mastercard & Discover credit cards. If you have an open balance with the Parks and Recreation office for any of our services or programs, you must settle this amount due before any Picnic and/or Overnight Island Camping permits will be issued.

Permit information is available on the town hall website or call town hall at (203) 622-7700.
