Subject: 2012 Facility Use Report
This report is submitted to the Commission as a review of annual park facility use trends.
Attached you'll find a chart of 2012 monthly facility rentals as well as a graph detailing the total
number of rentals each year from 2007 -2012.
On the attached facility use graph, the number of rentals we coordinate is determined by a
number of factors. For instance in 2007 and 2008, we issued higher numbers of permits due
to a number of non - resident and non -CGAA sports groups that rented 2 -3 fields every
Saturday and Sunday from May through September. Also, the CGAA baseball, softball, and
soccer associations hosted multiple tournaments throughout the summer.
After 2009 reservations began to rise again in part due to an increased effort in marketing via
the website, Facebook pages, cable access shows, and word of mouth. Also in the past few
years we've seen a sharp increase in rentals that are utilizing our facilities for fundraising
events such as Hamlet Park for 5K races and Lamar Park for bocce ball tournaments among
others.
Last year, with the addition of the Splash Pad we added roughly 30 additional rentals to our
total in only three months of operation. This year we plan to see an increase in rentals at that
facility as we'll be operational from May through September.
Over the years many of our facilities, including park buildings, fields, trails, and other amenities
have been maintained and /or upgraded and are a great source of pride for our department and
community. With our continued effort to provide safe and enjoyable facilities along with the
addition of new amenities we're sure to keep our residents coming to us for their event needs.
