View Mount Horeb Spotz page. You can then scroll down to choose a park and pick a date on the calendar to rent, or use the "find time widget" to pick a date and space type.
Input your event details, expected attendance, and any other information pertaining to your reservation. You will need to enter a payment method and credit card details. (Please note there is a 3.5% processing fee and 3% Spotz service fee for all online reservations.)

If your shelter requires a key (Sunrise Park Shelter, Grundahl Enlcosed Shelter, Liberty Park Shelter), you will need to pick one up at the Rec Department. If you have a weekend rental, we prefer you pick up a key the Wednesday or Thursday prior to your rental date. If you have a weekday rental, we prefer you pick up the key two days prior to your rental date. The Rec Department office hours are typically Mon-Thurs 7:15am-4:30pm and Fri 7am-noon (office hours are subject to change).
Please note that refunds will not be provided if you cancel your reservation less than two weeks prior to your reservation date. If your event is canceled due to poor weather, and a rain date cannot be agreed upon, you will receive a full refund (minus any service/processing fees).
