The park board meeting on January 4 was almost all about the Dockside Entertainment complex. While the opening is scheduled for spring of this year, the park board approved the rates, hours, and rules of the complex. Christy Remmick Dockside Entertainment and community engagement manager said she met with the sales tax committee that Tuesday and worked with them on the rates.
Corporate sponsorship levels were also brought up with different levels having discounts, usage of the building, thanks on social media, and a donor wall.
“We would be flexible,” said vice president Kale Stromme. “If someone wants to give to the project it will make the project better.”
There will be rates for yearly, monthly, and daily memberships. Families, individuals, and special discounts for seniors, students, active military, and senior couples will have their own pricing. Purchasing a pass will include access to the walking track, indoor playground, pickleball/sports court, and access to lounge area. For those who purchase the annual and monthly pass, there will be discounted rates on the sports simulator and bowling.
Dockside is also looking to have golf leagues in winter and sports simulator tournaments. Among the sports that will be available are football, soccer, baseball, hockey, sport shooting, lacrosse, dodgeball, and more.
Bowling will have different rates for different times of the week and for members and nonmembers. The weekday rate from Monday to Thursday will be $12/lane and Friday to Sunday $15/lane for members. For nonmembers, it would be $16/lane on weekdays and $18/lane for weekends There will be a 6 guest limit per lane.
Remmick called the prices “fairly reasonable.”
Dockside will also have a meeting space and the facility will be available for rent. The option to have the facility closed to the public or just reserve one of the activities will be an option.
