With summer almost in full swing, and the temperature’s starting to rise with rain subsiding, it’s time to start getting back outside and enjoying the beautiful weather. Pleasant Hills residents and visitors will be ecstatic to know that a hidden gem exists within the boroughs. Mowry Park, while not the largest park in the area, Pleasant Hills being about 3 square miles, is terrific for getting outdoors and enjoying the fresh air, and beautiful scenery.
Visitors to the park can walk the trail lining the area, and take in the fresh flowers, grassy areas, and mature trees. It is one of the perfect places in the area to take dogs on walks and play in the outdoors. But the park is much more than just a green oasis; there are also significant opportunities to make Mowry Park a destination to hold events.
For those that have looked for a place to hold a birthday party or family reunion this summer, Mowry Park has every accommodation needed. From covered gazebos, picnic tables, and restrooms. Visitors may even bbq on-site making this one incredible place to host a party. There are four picnic shelters within the park, and to reserve your spot this summer, you must contact the City. The cost of booking your location is very reasonable compared to other venues and is very family friendly. Picnic shelter 1 and 2 are slightly more expensive but offer a larger space, and works well if you have a larger group. Shelters 3 and 4 are only $50.00 to reserve and is excellent for smaller gatherings or hosting birthday parties. Reservations start April 15th and run until late October.
