Many of these sites have a pull up parking place with room for two cars. Other tables have no grill, no concrete pad, and are shaded by trees. These tables are typically walk up sites and are located near the parking areas.
Group picnic facilities
Lynn Creek Park has two pavilions where you can have a picnic with a larger group. They pavilion itself is a larger covered area that protects a number of picnic tables. There is also a large barbeque grill off to one side of the pavilion. The smaller site has six picnic tables and is located next to the main parking lot. The beach, and its facilities (restrooms, changing rooms, concession stand, and playground) are also close at hand. The second group pavilion is slightly larger, with eight picnic tables, and is in a more secluded wooded area. There is a parking area and restroom facility specifically for this group picnic site. The beach and all of its facilities are just a short walk away.
Pavilions rental fees vary by the day of the week and during holidays. The per vehicle entrance fee still must be paid to enter the park.
