Centennial Park Event Hall Bookings
The Event Hall at Centennial Park is the perfect venue to hold business meetings, graduation and birthday parties, networking events, family reunions, weddings, and other special events. With access to a catering prep kitchen, two private dressing rooms, modern audio-visual equipment and built-in colored accent lighting to customize every event, Centennial Center’s Event Hall is a premier venue in the heart of the corridor.
Attached to the south side of the building is an outdoor amphitheatre. This space may be added to Event Hall rentals as a reception area, for expanded programming or presentation space. Guests can also take advantage of all the amenities throughout Centennial Park including several playgrounds and a stocked pond.
