Summary

Metro Parks approved a partnership with the Centennial Park Conservancy that establishes fee rules and a joint management plan for a new $4,000,000 event pavilion, preserving Metro oversight of fees and public access.

Metro Parks presented a proposed partnership with the Centennial Park Conservancy to operate and manage a new $4,000,000 event pavilion in Centennial Park. The staff recommendation described the plan as establishing an operational framework and fee structure that "prioritizes equitable public access, professional event management, and sustainable funding for the ongoing maintenance and stewardship of the pavilion and Centennial Park."

The joint management plan authorizes the Conservancy to manage pavilion rentals in coordination with Metro Parks, while fee structure and future adjustments remain subject to Metro Parks and Parks Board review. Staff recommended approval, a motion and second were made, and the board voted to approve the plan. Director Odom later announced the grand opening of the pavilion and Croquet Café is scheduled for Aug. 29.
