It is generally accepted that all municipally owned parks and areas are open and accessible to, and maintained for, the public at large. No municipal park or facility within a municipal park with the exception of picnic shelters at Cane Creek Park and the Dogwood Performance Pavilion may be reserved for exclusive use. Picnic shelters at Cane Creek Park may be reserved on a fee basis by contacting the Department of Leisure Services. The Performance Pavilion at Dogwood Park may be made available for exclusive use by individuals or organizations provided a Dogwood Pavilion Permit is obtained. A Dogwood Pavilion Permit may be issued for the pavilion on a first come first served basis only. The City of Cookeville does not provide nor guarantee exclusive use of the area surrounding the pavilion structure. Prior to being issued a Dogwood Pavilion Permit, the person or organization must complete a rental agreement and pay the appropriate fees as outlined in the facility rental agreement. When the Dogwood Performance Pavilion is not reserved it is available to the public at large on a first come first served basis. (Ord. #O18-06-16, June 2018, as amended by Ord. #O23-12-25, Jan. 2024)
