Reservations

The safety and well-being of everyone who visits our PARC facilities are always our primary concerns. All Cornelius parks are open and most fields, courts, and picnic shelters are available for reservation. In accordance with the governor’s orders, all who visit must practice social distancing (6 feet apart) or wear a mask when social distancing cannot be maintained (see Executive Order 180). Basketball courts are for individual play only and non-contact activities, where players can maintain 6’ of social distancing, are allowed. For tennis and pickleball play, refer to this USTA safety tip sheet for guidelines. For all other sports, refer to this NCDHHS guidance for sports (updated December 8).
Before you have your team practice, birthday party, family reunion or business retreat, you need to make a reservation.
