7/8/2026 Zionsville Parks and Recreation

The Town of Zionsville Parks and Recreation Board held a meeting on July 8, 2026, where they discussed various operational updates and new business items related to park maintenance, programming, and special events. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval process for a for-profit special event request involving an inflatable course at Malberry Fields, which would generate revenue through a 10% remittance from ticket sales and food trucks. The board emphasized the need for clear contractual terms, insurance coverage, and monitoring mechanisms before final approval. Additionally, they reviewed budget matters such as the management of leftover contingency funds from the Carpenter Nature Preserve project and strategies for addressing deferred maintenance through reappropriation of funds. The board approved claims and agreed to continue due diligence on the special event proposal before finalizing the permit and contract.
