Group Picnic Area If you are deciding to stay onsite for the reception, a limited number of picnic tables can be rented out for your party, a short walk away from the Amphitheater. How to Prepare : Parking and Permits When you are preparing for your wedding at Old Mill Park, keep in mind limited street parking is available and can be a little difficult on weekends when both the nearby children’s playground or Mill Valley public library is busy with families.  If you want your wedding catered or to hire food trucks for the reception, keep in mind that you need permits for both. You must also choose food trucks from the City of Mill Valley’s approved list.
