Smoking is tolerated as long as it is not in the immediate vicinity of others, and the butts are not left on the grounds.
Grilling is tolerated as long as the coals are not dumped on the grounds and as long as the grill has a stand to elevate it off the grass high enough not to burn the lawn. Burned lawn does not grow back until next year at best.
Do visit the Pavilion Patio Bar for fabulous cocktails, boutique wines, craft beers, and unique soft drinks.
Don't bring your own beverages within the Pavilion; our certified wait staff will be happy to serve you.
