The Adrian City Commission has approved changes to park rental rates across the city's park system, including increased prices for swim lessons, streamlined shelter and gazebo rental rates, standardized baseball field rental pricing, and new fees for the Piotter Center and disc golf course rentals. The Commission opted to exclude proposed pickleball court rental fees from the final resolution.

Why it matters

The updated park rental rates aim to standardize pricing, cover rising operational costs, and generate additional revenue for the city's parks and recreation department, which oversees the maintenance and programming of Adrian's public green spaces.

The details

Key changes include: swim lesson prices increasing to $74-$104 based on residency and private vs. group lessons; shelter and gazebo rental rates being streamlined with resident/non-resident and weekday/weekend pricing; baseball field rental fees being standardized across locations; new fees introduced for the Piotter Center, concession stands, and disc golf course; and proposed pickleball court rental fees being excluded from the final resolution.

  • The updated park rental rates were approved by the Adrian City Commission on Monday, April 8, 2026.
  • The new swim lesson pricing will take effect for this year's program, which is held in partnership with Adrian Public Schools.
