Picnic Rentals

Picnic areas in our parks can now be booked online!

Advanced reservations for select picnic locations can be made online up to 45 days before the desired date of your booking. For example, if you would like to hold your event on Saturday, July 9 at 11 a.m., the earliest you will be able to book this slot is Wednesday, May 25 at 11.a.m. Picnic bookings are offered with start times of 8 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., but you may reserve a three- or six-hour block.

Enjoy your next outdoor gathering with picturesque views of beautiful Lake Ontario.

Coronation Park is located just east of Third Line at 1426 Lakeshore Road West. Amenities in the park include five large designated picnic areas, public washrooms, fully accessible playground, and a splash pad.

Please note: Due to construction at Lions Valley Park, picnic area reservations will be available at Coronation Park only for the 2022 season.

What else do I need to know?

Whether booking a space for your next event or enjoying a park space casually, please only bring reusable or biodegradable containers (over plastic). If using plastic, please dispose of your items in the appropriate recycling bins provided.

  • Personal barbecues, grills, fires and other cooking appliances are not permitted.
  • ​Catering is permitted in a drop-off only function. No caterers are permitted to be onsite cooking or serving food.
  • Alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited.

To ensure security staff and parks patrol are aware of all scheduled events, these online bookings are only available four or more days in advance.

Looking to plan a larger scale special event? Please visit our Event Planning Guidelines page for more information.
