City of Cupertino Picnic Site Reservations

The City of Cupertino will begin taking picnic site reservations starting on Wednesday, October 21. Reservations can be made online at reg4rec.org or by calling the City's Recreation Office at (408) 777-3120.

Picnic site users should follow social distancing recommendations, wear a face covering, practice good hygiene, and follow the guidelines put forth by the County of Santa Clara and the State of California Public Health Departments.

Picnic Rental Guidelines

• Please stay home if you are feeling sick or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
• Anyone who develops COVID-19 within 48 hours after attending a gathering should notify the other attendees as soon as possible regarding the potential exposure.
• Gatherings should be two hours or less. The longer the duration, the risk of transmission increases.
• People at higher risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 (such as older adults and people with chronic medical conditions) are strongly urged not to attend any gatherings.
• Gatherings that include more than three households are prohibited. This includes everyone present, including hosts and guests.
• The host should collect the names of all attendees and contact information in case contact tracing is needed later.
• Masks must be worn except when sitting to eat or drink.
• For any gatherings permitted under this guidance, the space must be large enough so that everyone at a gathering can always maintain at least a six-foot physical distance from others (not including their own household).
• Everyone at a gathering should frequently wash their hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. A place to wash hands or hand sanitizer must be available for participants to use.
• Shared items should not be used during a gathering. As much as possible, any food or beverages at outdoor gatherings must be in single-serve disposable containers. Self-serve items from communal containers should not be used.
• Visitors should bring plastic tablecloths that can be disposed of or taken back home for washing.
• Gatherings should not exceed the current maximum number of people allowed in the State and County COVID-19 guidelines.
