Non-Resident Fees
A reminder that we have eliminated the non-resident fees through an agreement with Steele County. All citizens within the county pay the same fee for recreation programs. Only participants living outside Steele County pay the outside participant fee. Please note that adult participant fees and rental fees listed are payable to the Owatonna Parks and Recreation and include sales tax, while youth programs and lessons do not charge sales tax.
Reserve a Pavilion
It’s never too soon to reserve a pavilion for your special event! Call the office and we’ll be glad to find the perfect venue for your graduation, family reunion, birthday party, company outing or any other event. We have a bounce house to rent for your event! If you’re worried about weather, we have rentals available at the Morehouse Chalet, SeniorPlace and the Brooktree clubhouse.
We hope you are able to make time to take advantage of your parks, trails, facilities and programs during this wonderful time of the year! We welcome your comments and suggestions. Let us know how we are doing!
