Council approves Greenville Street Park rental fees; city projects opening within weeks
Summary
Following $1.28 million in site improvements, council approved a revised rental-fee schedule for Greenville Street Park including a $300 rate for rentals of four hours or more and a $100 security deposit; staff said the facility should be available for rental within weeks and the council approved the change unanimously.
Council approved adjustments to Greenville Street Park rental fees after staff described recent facility improvements funded through SPLAS (about $1.28 million) that added a covered stage and expanded greenspace. Staff recommended fee parity with similar city venues and proposed a $300 rate for events lasting four hours or more, a $100 security deposit, and rental hours aligned with other city facilities (9 a.m.–9 p.m.).
Councilors asked whether the four-hours-or-more rate had a cap and whether setup/tear-down time was included; staff confirmed the 9 a.m.–9 p.m. rental window must include setup and tear-down and that larger events (tournaments, festivals) were the primary target for the four-hour pricing.
When asked about construction completion, staff said the contractor is coordinating the park opening and that the facility should be available for public rental within the coming weeks; staff and council expressed plans to host a public, free opening event once weather and warranty considerations align. The fee schedule passed unanimously.
