Mayview Pavilion rental options expand in South Fayette

Time blocks added during splash pad season at Fairview Park

By Andrea Iglar

Starting in 2026, people will have more opportunities to rent the Mayview Pavilion next to the splash pad at Fairview Park.

Rather than offering only single full-day rentals, South Fayette Township will offer morning, afternoon and evening rental blocks on summer weekends to accommodate shorter events.

"We have a lot of demand for young children's birthday parties and things like that," parks and recreation director Paula Willis said.

"Offering smaller blocks of time gives more people the chance to enjoy the pavilion for gatherings during the summer while the splash pad is open."

Mayview Pavilion renters can use the splash pad, but the water amenity itself always remains open to the public and cannot be rented for private parties.

The Mayview Pavilion has two sides. Each has access to a kitchen, electricity, picnic tables and restrooms.

The rental policy for each side varies depending on the season.

Summer

During the summer months (Memorial Day to Labor Day), Side 1—closest to the parking lot—is open to splash pad users and the general public. It features a concession stand with seasonal treats. Side 1 cannot be privately rented in the summer.

Meanwhile, Side 2—closest to Recreation Road—is available for rentals throughout the summer.

In summer, one daily rental block is available Monday through Friday, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.

On summer weekends and holidays, three-hour rental blocks are available as follows:

• Morning: 9 a.m. to noon

• Afternoon: 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

• Evening: 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Spring & Fall

In the spring and fall (April to Memorial Day and Labor Day to November), both Side 1 (150-person capacity) and Side 2 (125-person capacity) may be rented, either individually or together.

Each weekday rental block is 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Each weekend/ holiday rental block is 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
