2025 Rental Rates & Guidelines
 
Security Deposit 
All facility rentals require a security deposit at the time of booking to reserve a date. The security deposit for all park rentals is equal to the resident rental rate of the reserved park. The security deposit for all banquet room rentals is $200.00. The security deposit for all multi-purpose room rentals is $150.00. The security deposit for all other indoor facility rooms is $100.00. The remaining balance is due in full at least 30 days prior to the event. Security deposits are refunded within two weeks after rental date as long as no rental rules or ordinances were violated.
 
Cancellations
If an outdoor park rental is canceled for any reason with 30 or more days notice prior to the event, 50% of the security deposit will be deducted as a cancellation fee. If an indoor facility rental is canceled for any reason with less than 60 days of notice prior to the event, 25% of the security deposit will be deducted as a cancellation fee. If any rental, outdoor park or indoor facility, is canceled with less than 30 days of notice prior to the event, the security deposit will be forfeited. If the event is not paid in full at least 30 days prior to the even, then the reservation date will be forfeited if another patron on the waiting list is willing to pay for the date in full. If the reservation date is successfully rebooked, then the Park District will refund 50% of the original patron's security deposit.
