FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Howmuch does it cost to rent a facility?

Is insurance required? Yes, insurance is required for all rentals with the exception of private meetings with less than 100 people and picnic shelters with less than 75 people attending. What is your cancellation policy? Cancellations must be made two weeks in advance of booking or 50% of the rental will be changed with the exception of the auditorium at Whonnock Lake Centre which requires 3 months notice. Cancellations that occur less than 48 hours in advance of the event 100% of the rental fee will be charged

Rentals costs are determined by a variety of variables including size, location, event type etc. Please speak to our booking staff and we can help you find the best fit for your event and budget. Do I need to provide a damage deposit and howmuch is it? Most bookings require a damage deposit which is refundable within two weeks after your event. The amount varies depending on risk factors i.e. a child’s birthday party versus a large scale event with alcohol.

KARINA LEBLANC FIELD The Karina LeBlanc Field, the first of four new synthetic fields for our community, had its grand opening event this last May. This new field was partially funded with a Canada 150 Community Infrastructure grant.

Come and check out the new field, public artwork and park improvements at 22008 124 Ave. (Merkley Park).

ACCESSIBLE PLAYGROUNDS The playgrounds at Belle Morse and Alouette Park have recently been replacedwith newplaygrounds featuringmore accessible play components. The entry pathways to these playgrounds also received accessibility improvements to eliminate barriers around the play area. Some of the new components in the playgrounds include a “Spinning Sensory Wave Seat” and the “Zero – G” swing chair. Make sure to stop by and check out these new playgrounds. LIONS PARK PUMP TRACK & SPORTS COURT Come check out the newly installed basketball court, pump track and junior scooter course at Lions Park (12100 Laity St.). This project was part of a lifecycle replacement of the old tennis and basketball courts that needed to be repaired. Community feedback suggested the idea that a pump track and scooter course would be a great fit for the neighbourhood.

NEWPUBLIC ART

sample patterns from previous projects

Artists Rebecca Bayer and David Gregory of spacemakeplace were selected for the Leisure Centre Public Art Project to design and install the new community custom glass tile mosaics for the meeting/gathering space area outside the change rooms, reception area and feature wall of the pool deck. Their artwork explores the relationship between people and place. For the proposed Leisure Centre Community Mosaic they will engage residents through a series of fun public workshops in the fall to gather geometric patterns which will be the inspiration to create a site specific tile mosaic. The final artwork will express the idea that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” The installation will be timed with the Leisure Centre construction schedule and unveiled when the renovations are complete. Visit mapleridge.ca/1907 for details.
