Suprata for picnic shelters and pavilions
Pavilion reservations without the clipboard at the park office
Every summer weekend, the same shelters are booked for reunions and birthday parties. Suprata books each pavilion as a time-slot resource the public reserves in the portal, adds fees for things like electricity, and pairs bookings with special-use permits. Park departments get approvals and rental contracts with Suprata Recreation.

What a normal week looks like without the right system
We hear these from picnic shelters and pavilions all the time. Here is what Suprata does about each one.
Two families showed up at Shelter 2 with the same receipt.
Each shelter is a bookable resource, and a second booking for the same time is refused.
People book the big pavilion for a reunion and ask about electricity the day before.
Optional fees are checkboxes at booking and required ones always apply, so electricity or extra cleanup is on the invoice from the start.
If they want a bounce house, they need a separate permit, and they never get one.
A booking type can require an active permit, so the special-use permit comes first and the booking follows.
The rangers don't know who has the shelter until they find a paper taped to the post.
Staff open the day schedule on a phone and see who has each shelter and when.

Questions we hear
Straight answers
Asked by picnic shelters and pavilions before they switch.
Can people reserve online?
Yes. Customers sign up with an email code and book open times on the portal's Book a Time page.
Can residents pay less than visitors?
Yes, in Suprata Recreation, which sets rental fees by resident status, by the hour or by the day.
Can a closed shelter stop bookings automatically?
Yes. Link the shelter to its spot on your park map, and closing the spot blocks bookings on it.
Do you handle security deposits?
Suprata Recreation takes and returns security deposits on facility rentals.
