Park representative says DORA could let Origin Park and Wildwater serve alcohol at events
Summary
A park representative told the council a DORA could allow serving alcohol at Origin Park's event center and the Wildwater facility, expanding where park events could offer beverages; staff said they will check waterfront eligibility and state rules.
A representative speaking for park interests said a DORA could expand where park-run events serve alcohol, naming the Origin Park event center and the Wildwater facility as likely candidates. "Certainly, we have interest in being able to serve liquor at the event center and also the Wildwater facility," the representative said, adding that some park facilities are close enough to the Ohio River or Silver Creek that they might qualify under riverfront parameters.
The representative described how building out event facilities in the park could create additional locations for beverage service and said park staff would work with town staff to determine how a DORA footprint could apply to park events. Staff later reiterated they would confirm state eligibility rules for river-adjacent facilities before drafting ordinance language.
