Bennington Lake offers a clean and well-maintained picnic area with helpful staff and useful amenities such as electricity and charcoal grills. The shelter has a cement surface and covered space, making it comfortable despite some mud around the perimeter. Occasionally, sprinkler timing caused disruption, and nearby group activity required some adjustment.

Very easy to reserve, lots of picnic tables available, electric in 2 corners. Gorgeous space. Will rent again for future events.

The area is a great space with electricity and a charcoal grill!
We did however have an issue with the sprinklers coming in right as our party got started 5:20ish and things got soaked, my daughters bible, our grad decorations, and people keeping sprinklers away. I rushed to find help and grounds keepers helped but things were wet and started things off sloppy. I was told by grounds keeper her requested a refund and haven’t heard anything from them. We celebrated anyways and made the best out of it as what else could you do :)

the staff in the office were VERY helpful ahead of time in clarifying rules and expectations, not in a lecturing way, but answering questions. A staff member discretely dropped by our event and checked the garbage. We really appreciated! The park was clean and well cared for. perfect! thank you

Nice covered area. Cement surface and walks to the location. It was a little muddy around the perimiter, but we were OK. We were happy that we had a wagon to carry our things for the group from the parking lot. It was quite a trec.
Had another group encroaching on us before our reservation time was over. We moved over and made space for them even though they were early for their reservation.
Not much to do near the picnic area, but we were older and just visiting anyway.

We used the Rooks Park shelter for a church picnic. It is a nice location and well maintained. We had no issues.
Thank you.
