Schaumburg Park District Park Usage Application
Photos may be taken in our parks — Volkening Lake is a popular area requested for wedding photos. If you would like to reserve a time and location for photos, there is a $15 fee for a permit. Permits resolve the issue of two or more groups arriving at the same time for photos. Please fill out a park usage application and submit with the fee. Allow approximately 1-2 weeks after submittal to receive the permit.
The Tribute Garden at Volkening Lake can accommodate a smaller outdoor wedding party (approx. 25-30).
The Perennial Garden at Volkening Lake, located toward the back of the park behind the police station, is available for a larger group (approx. 50).
Volkening Lake also has a large picnic shelter which can be used for a wedding ceremony. This shelter could possibly accommodate 50 guests. It is located mid-park.
There is not an area that is both indoor/outdoor usable.
Chairs - We do not rent chairs. If renting chairs from a rental company, the Park District will need a certificate of insurance from the company for liability purposes. This certificate of insurance must be for at least $1,000,000 coverage in Commercial General Liability insuring the Schaumburg Park District as additional insured and yourself.
Decorations - Areas may be decorated for weddings, but these decorations must be removed when leaving the area.
Cost - The cost of reserving the garden/shelter areas for weddings is $100 for residents and $150 for non-residents. Picnic tables are included in the cost of the reservation.
