The side that I went to (the other side was closed) had a picnic area that you did need a reservation for. $60, I think, but it was a nice big covered area. There's also a piano there you can pay a (maintenance) fee to play.
The park just across the road from Freyer Park has a kiosk where you pay your daily fees. Im not aware of a reservation system there.
