Orange County Insight March 2026

Those looking for an affordable location to host their next birthday party, reunion, or other gathering should know that Orange County Parks & Recreation has several shelters available for rent. Distributed throughout Orange County at three of our parks, these rental shelters can help make get-togethers a breeze! The Barboursville Community Park shelter has been available for many years, its convenient location right off of Route 33 makes it a popular destination. In fact, it has played host to some family reunions for so long that it’s almost a part of the tradition! Attractions at the location include seating for approximately 36 folks, a brick fire pit, and a nearby basketball hoop and playground. The shelter shares a parking lot with the Four County Players playhouse, and staff work diligently to arrange rentals to avoid conflicts on show dates. Unionville Community Park opened in the spring of 2022, and its shelter has served as a much-needed rental resource towards the eastern end of Orange County ever since. It contains six tables with seating for about 36. A unique feature of the park is its horseshoe pit (horseshoe supplies can be rented from our office for an additional $5 fee). It’s also home to a playground, ensuring fun for all ages. Mountain Track Community Park is our latest addition. The park opened last fall and this year provides the first opportunity to use its new rental shelter. Unique among our parks, this location offers easy access to wooded hiking trails and a disc golf course, as well as a playground. Have a Party Coming Up? Parks & Recreation has Rental Shelters!
