Community rooms are located in a number of spaces and are rented to local organizations and the general public. Locations can be used for birthdays, bridal or baby showers, corporate meetings, City programming, and more.

Community rooms can be booked for any dates within a season, at least 7 days in advance, with bookings opening 14 days ahead of the season opening. Payment is due at the time of booking and we do not place any holds on any rooms. Rental contracts are issued as confirmation of a booking and outline the Terms of Use. Visit our Recreation Facility Rentals Page for more information on the facility rental process.
