to 22 organizations that routinely serve meals to the homeless in city parks. That is one of the few groups the city has been able to identify as frequent park users, Caton said ...

Private functions would pay a $350 refundable deposit but would be charged $1,000 for using the facility for six hours. Longer events would pay an additional $250 per hour. In addition, event organizers would have to pay fees to offset the time that city workers spend setting up and cleaning up and for city supplies used for the event.

Nonprofit groups at Finlay Park or Coble Plaza would pay the same refundable deposit plus $75 per hour for the use of the site and the same administrative fees as private groups.
