*Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, outdoor gathering sizes are limited to 50 people. We are unable to host larger events until local and state ordinances allow for larger gatherings.
To meet community needs during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are able to offer affordable hourly rentals ($15-$25 per hour) of one half of the Pavilion to groups of 50 or fewer. It is possible another group may be renting the other half during this time. Possible uses include fitness and yoga classes, rehearsals, classes, small gatherings of family and friends.
Hourly rentals do not include access to the bathrooms, alcohol is not allowed, and the space can be reserved for a maximum of 4 hour blocks of time.
