Hendersonville Parks Board 7/27/2026

The City of Hendersonville Parks Board held a meeting on July 27, 2026, where several procurement and event-related matters were discussed. Key procurement-related topics included approval of the use of the State Soccer Association's background check policy for local soccer clubs, which is expected to reduce city expenses by approximately $1,000 to $2,000. The board also approved the site map and activations for the World Bass Enterprises event, including vendor areas, security plans, and alcohol sales managed by Cumberland Hospitality Group. Additionally, the board approved the use of park facilities for various community events such as the TSU ASCE Midsouth Symposium, inline hockey celebrations by the Nashville Predators, and a mobile Nerf entertainment event. The board discussed safety concerns related to e-bikes on greenways but did not take procurement action on this issue. Several motions to approve event permits and policies were passed, reflecting ongoing support for community programming and park usage. The meeting also included recognition of staff efforts and a certification achievement by the parks director.
