City of Vancouver 2026 Park Use Permit Rates (effective through 12/31/2026). A wedding is explicitly listed as an activity requiring a Park Use Permit, and for this park "you must have a picnic shelter reserved... in order to obtain a Park Use Permit," so both fees are mandatory.

The same PDF lists this shelter at $83/$104 (resident/non-resident), giving $50 + $83 = $133 for residents and $50 + $104 = $154 for non-residents. Rate 2 ($125/day) applies instead if the event generates sales or donations.
