7. Reservations are not official until confirmed in writing by SCORB.

8. Water and electricity cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances beyond our control. 

9. Pioneer Trails Picnic Grounds, Sweetwater County Picnic Grounds, Crossroads West and Reliance Park users: If your group plans on using a dunking booth in these parks, you must provide your own water for the booth.

OBLIGATIONS ASSUMED BY THE PARTY RESERVING A SWEETWATER COUNTY PARK

3. If you find you on your arrival to the park damaged equipment or trash buildup, report it at once to our caretaker in the park and call the Board Office, (307) 922-5450, to leave a message, so your party will not be held responsible.

If it is determined that your group is responsible for damage to the park equipment or if you did not police the park properly, your group will be required to reimburse SCORB to clean and repair the park. Your group will not be able to use the park in the future until a $1 per person cleanup deposit is paid.
