Earle Brown Heritage Center, Brooklyn Center
Minnesota’s parks and recreation agencies have a variety of indoor and outdoor facilities that can host meetings and events of all sizes. These facilities are diverse in design and function, and offer spaces for corporate functions, conferences, board meetings, small and large group outings, and more. Your Next Event Can be a Walk in the Park
How to Use This Guide
When it comes to setting the tone for an event, prairies, lakes, woodlands and gardens provide idyllic picture-postcard backdrops for events that the typical hotel conference room or convention center cannot match.
We’ve prepared this MRPA Recreation and Parks Facilities Guide as a tool for organizations who plan and host conferences, meetings and special events. MRPA member rental facilities are highlighted on the pages that follow. The guide showcases facility amenities, capacities, catering details, and rental fees – please feel free to share it with anyone who may be in the need of a unique venue for their next upcoming event.
“Company picnics are great and we host a lot of them, but many event planners don’t realize that we also host a number of corporate meetings and banquets,” said Strehler.” Minnesota Recreation and Park Association (MRPA) member communities also have hundreds of indoor meeting spaces to accomodate groups of 12 to 1,200 people. Spaces range from community recreation centers and golf course clubhouses, to freestanding park pavilions, shelters, and historical venues.
Please note: this is just a small cross section of the many Minnesota facilities available to rent. Contact your local city, county or state parks and recreation office to discuss customized options and pricing for your events.
One-of-a-Kind Venues Have you considered holding your next conference in a historic barn or on a turf field? Many Minnesota communities have reinvented farm and athletic sites to host events and conferences. Earle Brown Heritage Center in Brooklyn Center has been hosting events since 1990. Association manager, Darlyne Erickson of Sapphyre Group, has held numerous meetings and events there. “I’ve held several meetings at Earle Brown over the years with association clients, said Erickson. Repurposing this space in an area of the city that you wouldn’t normally find an event center makes meetings interesting.” St. Louis Park’s new ROC (Recreation Outdoor Center) is a mixed use, covered outdoor space with an adaptable floor based on the time of year – ice in winter, artificial turf in spring, and concrete in the summer and fall. The space is perfectly suited for expos, weddings, banquets, concerts and sporting competitions.
Bored of retreats? Turn boring board retreats into paddleboard retreats!
board meetings available
Community parks have a big advantage over traditional event venues. In addition to meeting spaces, event planners can tailor an outdoor activity for your group. Three Rivers Park District offers ways to get creative with meeting planning. “Board meetings don’t have to be in a board room. How about renting stand-up paddle boards?” asked Jenn Strehler, guest services & events manager for Three Rivers. Need a team-building experience? Rent the Oakwood Room at French Regional Park for your corporate strategy session, then head down to the water for a group kayak lesson. Or, rent the Basset Creek Room at Brookview Golf Course and plan a lawn bowling tournament.
