Background/Discussion
During the short 2022 splash pad season, staff observed preschool buses or vans bringing groups to Orono Park.
RecentlyT we received a fe`v requests from preschools to book a date for the splash pad. This has created capacityT
concerns and the need for a policyT to address this.
The policy d�aft incorpoYated items from the Cityr of St. Michael's policyr.
Our proposed polic�r requires groups such as dayTcares, YMCAs, and schools to make a reservation via the cityT's
website. The reservation will require a shelter or pavilion rental and allow access to amenities for a 3-hour block
of time with no additional fees.
On March 8, the Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously recommended the CityT Council approve this
policy. Staff will Ye-evaluate the policy with the Commission at the end of the summeY season.
Financial Impact
OYganizations and gYoups are required to pay the current Yeservation fees foY pavilion and shelteYs.
