City announces 2024 park rental rates and booking policies

The City of Wrenford has released the updated 2024 rates and booking policies for park rentals, effective January 1, 2024. The changes apply to all city-owned parks, trails, and outdoor facilities managed by the Parks & Trails division.

The updated schedule adjusts fees for standard greenspace rentals, pathway usage, and portable washrooms to match inflation and maintenance costs. A new $200.00 application fee covers processing for large community gatherings. The city is also introducing a streamlined online booking portal to reduce wait times and prevent double-bookings. Residents can now book spaces up to six months in advance instead of three.

If you are planning a wedding, a birthday party, or a local sports tournament, review the new fee schedule before you submit your request. All applicants must now upload proof of $2,000,000 in general liability insurance through the new portal. The city will also be running a free online workshop on November 28 to walk residents through the updated application steps. Applications are reviewed within ten business days. You can reach the Parks & Trails team at [email protected] with any questions about site suitability or accessibility features.

The Parks & Trails team will continue to enforce park rules and ensure all spaces remain safe and accessible for everyone. For the complete fee schedule, booking guidelines, and a list of available facilities, visit the Park rental rates page or call 519-555-0100.

"We want to make it as easy as possible for our neighbours to celebrate in our parks," said City Manager Robert Eng. "These updates will keep our spaces well-maintained while giving residents more time to plan their events."
