If you are looking to rent a facility in a City park, there are a few changes beginning Monday, May 18.
To rent a building or shelter at High Park, Madison Avenue Central Park or Warren Riverview Park, visit MeetinDerby.com to start the process and check availability on the online calendar.
In the past, facility rentals at High Park were handled by the Derby Recreation Commission, but this is being completed by the Rental Coordinator at the Derby Public Library. If you are looking to reserve a ballfield at High Park, those reservations will continue to be handled by the Derby Recreation Commission by calling 788-3781 or visiting www.derbyrec.com/142/Rentals.
After recent actions by the City Council, rental rates for some of the parks facilities have changed, including the newly renovated Darrell Zimmerman Family Shelter. There are two remodeled family bathrooms, a new serving area (stove and microwave were removed), refrigerator, fireplace, picnic tables, and new garage doors and pergola on the east side. The shelter is in a prime location by the new splash pad and playground. An additional parking lot is located southeast of the shelter as well.
If you have questions about park facility rentals, visit meetinderby.com or contact Dawn Best at 788-0760 or [email protected].
