Picnicking
Picnic Shelters
With more than 72 city parks in Midland, the places to
picnic are endless! You can find picnic tables in most city parks, and several
parks provide shelters and pavilions, grilling facilities, and other amenities.
You can begin reserving shelters for the year the second Monday in January (in
person only) at the Midland Civic Arena. The following Tuesday, reservations
can be taken over the phone or in person at the Parks and Recreation Office,
