The Guilderland Parks & Recreation Department will begin booking Tawasentha Park pavilion and picnic area reservations to Guilderland residents on Monday, January 5, 2026 (updated date due to observance of the town's holiday schedule). The office will open at 8:00 a.m. Rentals are on a first-come, first-served basis. Walk-in reservations (with payment) will take priority over phone, faxed or emailed reservation requests.
Facility rentals are available from May 1 – October 31 of each year, Monday – Sunday, with the exception of summer day camp dates or during special events.
To reserve a facility or picnic area, a Request for Use of Facilities/Know the Rules form must be submitted with full payment (credit card, check or cash) to the Town of Guilderland Parks & Recreation Dept. Forms can be dropped off or mailed to the Guilderland Parks & Recreation Department at 181 State Route 146, Altamont, NY 12009, or faxed to 518-456-3156.
Please note: Only Guilderland residents can reserve a pavilion. Proof of residency is required at the time of booking. A facility rental does not include pool admission fees. All pool admission fees are separate. Non-swimmers are still charged the appropriate admission fee to access the pool area.
