 | Picnicking at Bronte Creek Provincial Park: |
Thank you for considering Bronte Creek Provincial Park for your picnic location.
SMALL GROUPS
There are 1000's of picnic tables scattered throughout the day-use area to choose from on a first-come first-serve basis. We do not reserve tables/ open areas. You are permitted to bring in a charcoal/ propane BBQ. Please dispose of charcoal in the designated cement disposal areas. If a picnic shelter is reserved for the day you will see a poster in the shelter information sign just outside the shelter. Any shelter that is not reserved can be used on a first-come-first-serve basis. Park gates open at 8am and close at dusk.
Please note: All visitors attending your picnic must purchase a park daily vehicle permit upon arrival at the front gate (no invoices will issued and tallies will not be kept).
Pre-payment for Daily Vehicle Permits. (minimum of 2 weeks prior to your picnic) Picnic organizers can pre-pay and pick up Daily Vehicle Permits for their picnic guests.

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR GROUPS USING PICNIC SHELTERS
Although grills are included in rental fees, please remember to bring charcoal, starter fluid and BBQ brush on the day or your picnic. It is advisable to bring table clothes and tinfoil (for Grills) as facilities are exposed to elements and wildlife.
To help direct your picnic guests to your shelter, organizers are permitted to place a poster under the green parking lot signs on the WHITE boards .
Unwanted wildlife at picnics:
Yellow Jackets, wasps etc. are common visitors at any outdoor picnic. Guests should be aware that contact with wasps is possible.
Raccoons, squirrel and chipmunks. Please refrain from feeding the wildlife. Clean up any spills and dispose of garbage in the appropriate containers. This will keep our wildlife residents and our human visitors safe.
