How to Reserve the Pavilion or an Indoor Space

Include setup, cleanup, program conflicts and any Bluegrass or special-event use.
Use the Lucketts rental form for indoor spaces or the County pavilion system for the pavilion.
Read the PRCS agreement, pavilion conditions and event-specific requirements before paying.
A request is not the same as a secured reservation. Save the approved reservation and payment record.
How to Register for a Program
- Open the Lucketts Community Center page. Use the County link to PRCS Connect rather than an old third-party calendar.
- Search Lucketts Community Center as the location. Narrow by age, date or activity.
- Open the exact listing. Check age limits, dates, price, available spaces, materials and parent-supervision rules.
- Create or sign into your PRCS household account. Loudoun uses household accounts for registration and payment.
- Complete payment or waitlist steps. Save the registration confirmation.
- Recheck before the first session. PRCS may cancel or postpone for low enrollment, weather, holidays or emergencies.
