When you enter into a rental agreement for any of the rental facilities at Central Park, a 25% non-refundable down payment is required at the time the contract is signed. The balance is due not less than 30 days before the rental date.

If your rental date is less than 30 days from the date you sign the contract, full rental fees are due at the time you sign the contract.

Once a contract is signed and the 25% down payment is made, if your event is cancelled 30 days or more in advance, you will forfeit only the 25% down payment. If your event is cancelled 30 days or less in advance, you will forfeit 100% of the rental fees. If the city cancels the event, a full refund of rental fees will be issued.

Responsibility for decorating for any event lies with the renter. Decorating is to be done within the time frame of the rental and decorations are restricted to the rented space. No tape, staples, nails, tacks or other devices that can damage walls may be used in decorating. Scotch Command hooks or painter’s tape may be used on the brick walls. Nothing may be attached to the ceilings or chandeliers. If tape is used on the floors, you must remove any residue it leaves, as it will damage the surface of the floor.

Helium balloons are strictly prohibited inside the Venue and the Pavilion.

Unless cleaning has been paid for as an additional service, the renter is required to leave the rented space in the same condition it was upon receiving access to the building. All items the renter brings in must be removed. All trash is to be emptied in the dumpster. Tables and chairs are to be wiped down before being replaced on their respective storage racks. Hard surface floors are to be swept and spot mopped. Carpeted floors are to be vacuumed. Time to clean the building must be included in your rental times.
