How do I schedule a tour of the Venue, Pavilion or other facilities at Madison Avenue Central Park? Can I schedule a tour of the Lodge at Warren Riverview Park?
To schedule an appointment to see the spaces at Madison Avenue Central Park, please contact Cori Dodds, at the Derby Library by email: cori@derbylibrary.com

The main room is 50 feet by 60 feet and features glass walls on three sides (south, east and north). It has two counter spaces with a sink along the west wall. Two of the three glass sections on both the north and south walls can accordion open for access to the patio.
