I reserved the Community Building at East Side Park for our family reunion for several reasons. The location is nice - in lovely East Side Park; the space is air conditioned, which was great as the average Labor Day Weekend temperatures for the area are over 80 degrees and it was 86 this weekend; there are ample bathroom facilities just for use by our group; it is handicap friendly; it has a amazing full chef kitchen stocked with all the hardware we needed. We probably had about 60 to 70 people in the facility and though that was not many for the venue size, half of the building was open and the kids took it over with games and balloons that they were enjoying just kicking and bopping around. The rental fee was higher than I wanted to pay for our fairly small group size, but i had no trouble getting my family to each pitch in enough to recover the costs and they all seemed to appreciate the amenities. There were lovely shades trees outside the building and nice small gardens and landscaping that we enjoyed too while watching folks play corn hole (we brought our own). The park has 2 - maybe 3 pretty lakes with lovely bridges and a playground. There is a concession stand and small train ride but they were not open on our holiday weekend. It was not a big loss though. We were able to entertain ourselves. One drawback for some of the family members was that alcohol is not allowed. But I will definitely consider it for future reunions. read more
