PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
City of Aspen Hosts Outreach Event on Park Rental Policy Update
Aspen, Colo. – January 24, 2023 – The City of Aspen is hosting an open house on Thursday, February 9 in City Hall. Aspen’s parks and open spaces have seen a rise in usage that has increased the frequency of weddings, large scale events, catered picnics, and large fitness activities in the parks that limits general usage to community members.
The project will review and revise the existing sections of Municipal Code related to Park Rentals, as well as adopt a new Park Rental Policy, and update the Special Event Policy.
Staff wants to take this opportunity to engage the community as we re-examine the uses of parks and open spaces to ensure community access and how to best maintain the vibrant integrity of these assets. The engagement strategy will solicit input from various stakeholders and the community at-large to determine the best way to preserve our parks moving forward.
