Lake Claire Community Land Trust

The Land Trust is a community greenspace rather than an event venue. Nevertheless, we receive a constant stream of requests to use our space for events of all kinds. We are open to a wide range of gatherings as long as they align with our mission, contribute to our community, and support our financial needs. To streamline vetting these requests, we have posted our Event Policy here. Please read it carefully and in its entirety before submitting your request. If you feel your event falls within the guidelines listed, please use the form below to provide the details needed. We reserve the right to determine which events we can accommodate on a case-by-case basis. A sliding scale is available for non-profits or low-income families. The maximum capacity is 100 people.Classes & WorkshopsIf you possess skills or expertise that can be taught or shared in an outdoor setting (or very small indoor setting), we would be happy to consider your idea for a class or workshop. Since education is part of our mission statement, there is no fee for classes or workshops if they are free and open to the public. If you are charging people to attend or accepting donations, we will negotiate a mutually agreeable split of the proceeds, typically 10% of money earned. If participation is limited to a predetermined guest list, see Private Events below.Children’s Birthday PartiesWe love having small birthday parties for children on the Land Trust! These events must focus on children, with predominantly children as guests. The fee is $25/hour (minimum of 3 hours) to be paid upon reservation. The 3 hours includes set-up and breakdown but more time can be added. A reservation is required to ensure that scheduled events do not conflict. You will be reserving the Greenfield with the little pavilion and picnic tables for privacy. This includes access to the playground, but it must be shared with other visitors. The playground / large gazebo cannot be exclusively reserved. Children must be supervised at all times! We cannot accommodate parties for adults. A Sponsor is not required. Donations can either be placed in the secure mailbox at 270 Arizona Avenue NE or made online via PayPal or Venmo (links for both are available on our LinkTree here). Please notate “Birthday Party” and the date in the comments for our bookkeeper. A 10% service fee will be deducted from any refunds due to cancellation.Small Private Events (up to 20 attendees)We welcome small private events, limited to 3 hours including set-up and breakdown time. The fee is $75 and a reservation is required. A Sponsor is not required. Donations can either be placed in the secure mailbox at 270 Arizona Avenue NE or made online via PayPal or Venmo (links for both are available on our LinkTree here). Please notate “Private Event
