Seneca Parks maintain 3 picnic shelters at different park locations. There are shelters at the following parks: Fruth Wetland Nature Preserve (shelter house), Garlo Heritage Nature Preserve (shelter house) and Tiffin University Nature Preserve (gazebo). 

Reservations:

The picnic shelters can be reserved when not in use for a park event. Shelter reservations have priority use. Otherwise, shelter use is on a first-come, first use basis. Reservations are highly recommended for all shelters. Reservations can be made with the Park District by calling (419) 447-8091 or emailing info@senecacountyparks.com or can be made in person during office hours. Office hours for the SCPD Main Office are 8:30 am to 4:00 pm Monday - Wednesday.
