The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. With opening day of rentals just around the corner, this week we want to tell you about The Barn at Lions Park.

From weddings and fundraisers to concerts and crafts, The Walter J. Schroeder Barn sees an event almost every weekend during our rental season. It features tall ceilings, an open concept, and an expansive patio that can all fit up to 500 guests. It is not only our largest rental facility but also our only indoor facility.

While the facility is not temperature controlled, the 8 overhead doors help to provide a breezy indoor/outdoor space. The paved patio wraps around the sides of the building and overlooks a beautiful stormwater prairie. Indoor amenities include an ATM machine, garbage and recycling containers, large private bathrooms and the optional use of 40 wooden picnic tables. Renters also have the option of adding on the kitchen facilities which include a stove, refrigerator, freezer, large prep area, deep wash sinks, and two large serving windows.

The Barn can be rented by the day, Tuesday – Thursday or for an entire weekend, Friday – Sunday. The 2021 rental season opens to Greenville residents next week Tuesday, September 1. Remember, rentals are done on a first come, first serve basis. More information about renting The Barn, and what opening day will look like amongst COVID-19, can be found on our website at https://bit.ly/2QA4qyd or by contacting our office.
