Memo To: Parks, Recreation and Environmental Commission Members From: Liz Amici-Floyd, Meeting and Event Coordinator Subject: Meeting and Events Facility Overview Date: December 28, 2017 New Brighton Parks and Recreation offers a wide variety of facilities to hold family reunions, baby showers, craft fairs, business meetings, weddings, school events, and so much more. With New Brighton’s easily accessible location and affordable pricing options, hosting an event at either the New Brighton Community Center or one of the park locations has become a popular choice for both residents and non-residents. Rooms available at the New Brighton Community Center (NBCC) consist of meeting rooms for small groups and range up to a banquet room which can accommodate events with 240 individuals and include the use of a kitchen. After a rental is reserved in an appropriate space, options such as coffee, water, soda, pastries, AV equipment, and sound system usage are offered to ensure that all rentals have their various needs met. The Meeting and Event Coordinator also works with rental clients on their room set-up layouts while staff on hand during an event assists with technology and any other room needs that arise. Rooms can be rented one year in advance. Aside from room rentals at the NBCC, New Brighton Parks and Recreation also offers four Neighborhood Center locations (Hansen, Freedom, Sunny Square, Totem Pole) and the Brightwood Hills Clubhouse that can be rented for events. These facilities provide nice alternative locations for graduation parties, baby showers, bridal showers, and even small weddings. These multi-purpose locations aren’t available for rental year-round as they are used for Edventures Daycare, the NBPR Playground Program, winter warming houses and the golf season, however they remain a popular rental for families looking to add on picnic items, outdoor pavilions, and enjoy a space that is separated from the Eagles Nest and other rooms.
