Reservations for the GCA Building and Park

Reservation Contact: 304-865-3457

The playground and park:

The Gladesville Community Park is open year round and available for family outings. No reservations are taken, so a first-come policy is in effect for the outside facilities. The playground offers a variety of equipment for children of all ages and limited seating for adults. A large covered pavilion has several picnic tables. When a group reserves the building, the park becomes part of their agreement use.

Garbage service:  

The Community Association maintains garbage service during the months the building is open, and the garbage bin at the edge of the property is provided for your convenience. Please take  with you any garbage that your visit generates during the months when the building is closed (usually December-February) due to inclement weather.

What you need to supply:

 The facility is maintained through a volunteer group of officers and GCA supporters who keep the grounds clean and the grass mowed, who clean the building as needed, and who purchase necessary supplies. Please plan to bring your own paper products and garbage bags for your stay. We ask that you inspect the premises before leaving, to make sure the bathrooms are clean, the kitchen has been tidied and any equipment returned to storage, and the large room has a clean floor, with the tables and chairs  in order. Please carry all garbage to the appropriate outside container. Garbage pickup in on Monday mornings in Gladesville. Please lock the doors when you leave and leave the key as pre-arranged.

Donations:

While the facility is open for reservations, we must request a donation of at least $100 when use of the furnace is necessary. During the summer months, we respectfully ask for a reasonable donation. Many groups give generously as they realize the expenses for use of the building include insurance, utilities (electric, gas, water, garbage), and general maintenance.

Everyone should do their part: The GCA has a long history of assisting the community (Gladesville and the larger regional community) in providing a place for gatherings, both public and private. Please do all you can to insure that this property is well maintained. We ask that you leave the building and park in as good or better shape as you found it.
