Park board recommends Flat Park clubhouse lease to local disc-golf group to city council
Summary
Parks staff recommended, and the park board voted to forward to city council, a new lease for the Flat Park clubhouse to the local disc-golf organization after an RFP review; the proposal highlighted volunteer hours, park maintenance and an estimated economic impact from a national tournament.
Parks staff briefed the Wichita Board of Park Commissioners on the recommended lease for the Flat Park clubhouse and sought the board’s approval to forward the agreement to city council. Staff said the city ran an RFP, interviewed two proposers and recommends continuing a lease with the incumbent disc-golf organization.
Why it matters: commissioners said the group’s volunteer maintenance work and event activity deliver direct community value and reduce demands on city staff. Staff said the recommended operator provides concessions, restroom availability and coordinated volunteer services that save the city an estimated $75,000 in equivalent labor and support park activation.
