Pride Park and the Number of Activation Days
Motion #4: The CCAB recommends the Mayor and Commission maintain the current 120
days of activation in Pride Park, including ticketed activations and free community events.
We recommend the Administration continue to oversee, and work closely with OVG360 to
review, and approve (or disapprove) park activations and ensure community and MBCC
opportunities are executed in the best interest of the city, do not impede the quality of life
of the residents abutting the MBCC campus, and are optimized to enhance the potential
economic impact that is at the root of the MBCC operation.
