Park Board Meetings

The Board of Park Commissioners meet on the third Thursday of each month (January - November) at 5:30pm at City Hall.

To present a topic at a meeting, please send a letter of request, including supporting documents, to Kate Kroll at least one week prior to the meeting date.

Hosting a fundraising event in a city park or city facility?  Interested in using a park or facility for a class or program?  Then Park Board approval is needed!  All events and programs raising money, charging a participant fee, and/or having alcohol* are required to get Park Board approval to use a city park, park shelter, or park facility.  It is mandatory to submit a letter of request to Kate (krollk@cityoflacrosse.org) at least two weeks prior to the Park Board meeting in order to be considered for that month’s meeting agenda.  The letter of request should include the following information: contact name, phone, and email; the organization’s name and mailing address; event name; first and second choice of event dates and times; requested park, shelter, facility, and/or trail(s); and a brief description of the event.  Please note that in some cases, the organization or company may need to provide a Certificate of Insurance if the program or event is approved by the Park Board.  Do not wait until the last minute…we recommend attending a Park Board meeting at least three months prior to your event!  *If the Park Board approves an event where alcohol will be sold, an alcohol permit must also be applied for and purchased from the City Clerk’s office.  The City Clerk’s office will determine if groups are eligible for an alcohol permit.  If you are not eligible for a permit or do not purchase one, alcohol cannot be served at the approved event.
