What’s an organized use?

No, a group of 49 people or less will not require a park rental as long as there are no amenities requiring a rental. This includes but is not limited to bounce houses, tents or amplified sound. Otherwise you can just show up & use any available area, provided it has not been rented by another party.
This beautiful building is rentable throughout the year with some limitations in the summer. The building can accommodate up to 75 guests. With its beautiful setting next to the lake, located within Bridgeway Lakes Park & near the City’s only spray ground, this is an ideal location for a meeting, a birthday party, or even a wedding!
