ave a hankering to throw a backyard barbecue this summer? Maybe a few burgers and a couple of lawn chairs? Think bigger, people. Instead of firing up the grill for just the family or a handful of friends, why not invite the whole neighborhood – or at least the whole block? The City of Eau Claire is taking steps this summer to encourage more residents to throw block parties, streamlining the process of asking the police to close your block to traffic for the day and even tossing – literally tossing – in some extra fun. (More on that later.) City Manager Dale “The purpose of a block Peters says he’s eager to increase the number party is to bring neighbors of block parties that Eau Claire residents together to get to know each throw. “Our block has other, provide a forum for had a Fourth of July block party for almost solving neighborhood 32 years,” he explains. “I’ve just experienced it problems, provide a sense of as a wonderful opportusafety, assist in crime nity to get to know your neighbors. It’s a really prevention, and build a great opportunity for children to get to know sense of community.” each other.” – City of Eau Claire Ordinance The annual block party on Rust Street in Eau Claire’s Third Ward features a kiddie parade – complete with decorated bikes, patriotic music via boombox, and ice cream – as well as lots of food, fun, and get-to-know-yourneighbors-style fellowship. In fact, they’re so eager to have fun with the neighbors that they invite people who live in the adjacent block, too (including Peters and his family). The key ingredient – other than the willingness of a few neighbors to get the ball rolling – is getting approval from the city to close the street. In the past, doing so required filling out a paper form – which had to be brought in to the police department – as well as collecting signatures from neighbors. Starting this month, the city has launched a new website that includes an easy-to-use online application for a block party: www.ci.eau-claire.wi.us/ about-us/block-party. The site also includes a party checklist as well as invitation templates for your neighbors. (You’re still asked to notify your neighbors and get their approval for

the shindig.) Applications must be received at least 14 days before the date of the party, so you’ll have to plan ahead at least a bit. If the police OK the application, they’ll drop off street barricades on the appropriate day. (Previously, prospective block partiers had to pick up the barricades themselves.) And, if you request it, they’ll also drop off something else: a “game bag” full of hula hoops, parachutes, whiffle balls, bats and bases, and a kubb set. What’s more, if you don’t know how to play kubb, the city will arrange for a local volunteer kubb player to come to the party to offer instruction in Eau Claire’s beloved Nordic lawn game. We challenge you to find another city in the United States that offers such a service! (When the fun is done, it will be your responsibility to return the game bag to the Parks and Recreation Office.) And if kubb isn’t your block’s thing – or if you’re simply trying to set your party on fire (figuratively, at least) – you can also request that the Eau Claire Fire Department makes an appearance. Hopefully, they’ll be there just to show off one of their shiny trucks to the kids and not to hose down your blazing briquettes. What else makes for a good block party? Just use your imagination. Throw a potluck, with people on one side of the street bringing salads and those on the other providing desserts. Turn the blacktop into a massive canvas for chalk art. Stage a street dance, or – like the people on Rust Street – throw a mini-parade. Whatever you do, remember that something as simple as a block party can help turn people who just happen to live near each other into real, honest-to-goodness neighbors. As the city ordinance outlining the rules for block parties puts it, “The purpose of a block party is to bring neighbors together to get to know each other, provide a forum for solving neighborhood problems, provide a sense of safety, assist in crime prevention, and build a sense of community.”
WANT TO THROW A BLO C K PARTY? HERE’S A C HE CKLIST 1. Pick a date (you must submit your application at least 14 days in advance). 2. Determine your area (i.e., which block you’re going to party on). 3. Check with the neighbors to make sure they’re on board. 4. Apply for a permit online at www.ci.eau-claire.wi.us/about-us/blockparty 5. Make sure your permit has been granted. 6. Invite your neighbors (the city has invitation templates you can use). 7. Decide who will set up and clean up. 8. Decide who will supply the grills, tables, chairs, etc. 9. Do you wish to assign food, or have everyone bring a dish to pass? 10. Will everyone bring their own plates, napkins, utensils? VolumeOne.org 46 June 15, 2016
11. Will everyone bring their own beverages? (Remember state law prohibits drinking alcohol on the sidewalk or street.) 12. Are you going to have music? 13. What types of games/activities do you want? (You can request a game bag from the city containing balls, hula hoops, parachutes, whiffle balls, bats and bases, and more. This will be dropped off with the street barricades.) 14. A Fire Department visit for kids can be requested on the online application (if resources are available). 15. Where will you dispose of garbage? 16. Make a plan in case of inclement weather. Source: City of Eau Claire website
Party in the park! pu b li c pl ace s fo r yo u r g at h e r i n g a b o u n d •
P
ark pavilions in the city of Eau Claire were rented more than 1,000 times last year, and it’s no surprise. From traditional open-sided shelters full of picnic tables perfect for family reunions to a riverside labyrinth ideal for an intimate outdoor wedding, the city offers 16 different community park options for rental, plus another 18 shelters that can be reserved in smaller neighborhood parks. Just be aware that some of the more popular venues book up fast, especially during the late spring and summer months when graduation parties and weddings fill the calendar. Dawn Comte, recreation manager for the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, advises that you think ahead about the venue you want if you’re planning a wedding or a similarly large event. The department begins taking reservations for the coming year in December. This year, the first date is Dec. 7, and reservations can be made in person at the parks office (915 Menomonie St.) or online (www.ci.eau-claire.wi.us/departments/recreation-services/parks/pavilions-shelters). Deciding on a venue for your wedding/ reunion/reception/ soirée will depend on any number of factors, one of the most important being size. And size is one of the factors that separates the pavilions and other rentable areas at community parks from those at neighborhood parks. Venues in the first group can in many cases fit hundreds of people; in the latter group, a few dozen at most. Costs also vary, with rentals at neighborhood pavilions just $30 any day of the week, versus up to $61 for a weekend half-day at community park pavilions (and $125 for a full day at the Phoenix Park Pavilion). Another major difference: Alcohol is allowed at most community park venues but is prohibited at neighborhood parks. Another factor that may impact
by tom giffey your decision is a venue’s popularity. Unsurprisingly, two in Carson Park top the most-rented list: Both Pine Pavilion (next to the large parking lot) and Oak Pavilion (next to the playground) were rented nearly 100 times last year. Other popular locales include the Phoenix Park Pavilion (85 rentals), the Boyd Park Shelter (70), the Braun’s Bay Pavilion at Carson Park (68), and Rod and Gun Park (67). Unless you act early, these pavilions may be reserved for prime dates already, so plan ahead (or hope to get lucky). Fortunately, even if your first choice of a public party venue has been nabbed by someone else, there’s likely an alternative – maybe even one you haven’t thought of. While the Phoenix Park Pavilion may be popular, the Phoenix Park Plaza – the area between the trailhead building and the bridge – is also available for rent (but rarely is). The same goes for the picturesque Hoover Chapel in Lakeview Cemetery, a memorable spot for a special occasion – as long as you don’t mind the fact that it’s surrounded by gravestones. Another overlooked gem is Riverview Island Pavilion in Riverview Park, which – as its name implies – is located on an island in the Chippewa River. It’s a scenic spot reachable by a footbridge, and it even has a volleyball court. And Comte reminds residents that they shouldn’t overlook neighborhood parks as party possibilities. She notes that they are ideal for small gatherings such as birthday parties, baby showers, and neighborhood gatherings. They can be scenic, too: Consider County Farm Park, a newish, 10-acre park near Truax Boulevard with a beautiful view of the city’s north side.
