New rules about alcohol at Services in the Park: If you plan to bring wine or beer to Services in the Park, there is a $5 corkage fee per family/group registering together. Bottles must be labeled with your name and brought to the park sealed. You will check in your bottles and they will be given to the bartender to open and pour throughout the evening. Anything that has been opened and still contains alcohol in it will not be able to be taken home. Anything still sealed can be taken home.
