River Walk Center, Fort Pierce

The River Walk Center is the City of Fort Pierce's rental hall and event permit office on Indian River Drive, used for weddings, quinceaneras and showers and for yoga, exercise, art and dance classes on weekdays.

The city's Venue Rentals page lists both uses for the building at 600 N Indian River Drive, (772) 489-6473: special occasions such as weddings, quinceaneras or baby showers, and classes in yoga, exercise, art and dance Monday through Friday (Fort Pierce Venue Rentals page). The River Walk Center page says the city owns and operates the building, posts an Activity Schedule and carries the special event and alcohol permit forms, and notes that paperwork moves forward once fees are settled at the office (Fort Pierce River Walk Center page).

The city's Leisure Services Division lists Recreation and River Walk Center/Facility Rentals among its offerings; the division's own contact point is the Recreation Center at 903 S. 21st Street, 772.774.3792 (Fort Pierce Leisure Services page). The Leisure Services page names youth sports leagues and fitness classes for adults among the division's programs. The Fort Pierce places guide covers where the center sits downtown, and the special event permits guide covers what an outdoor event on city property needs.

The Fort Pierce rate sheet for Pierce Hall lists $654.70 for a Friday evening, $860.70 for an eight hour weekend half day and $1,169.70 for a full weekend day from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm, plus a $200.00 refundable damage deposit.

Each Pierce Hall price on the city sheet is printed with its base rate: the Friday evening rental, 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm with decorating after 12:00 pm if available, is $490.00 plus tax and janitorial fee; the Saturday and Sunday half day, eight consecutive hours including decorating time, is $690.00 plus tax and janitorial fee; and the full day is $990.00 plus tax and janitorial fee (Pierce Hall rate sheet). The deposit is returned after the event and is not applied to the rental fee, all guests must be out by midnight, and renters get one hour free after the event to remove decorations and belongings.

The fee includes tables and chairs but no linens or decorations. The Pierce Hall sheet lists 21 round 60 inch tables seating 8, ten 8 by 3 foot and four 6 by 3 foot rectangular tables, and 150 white mesh folding chairs (Pierce Hall rate sheet, inventory). The renter handles the entire setup and removes decorations inside and outside, while city janitorial staff put away tables and chairs and clean inside.

The smaller Sunrise Room at the Fort Pierce River Walk Center rents for $200.00 plus tax and janitorial fee for 6 consecutive hours or $350.00 plus tax and janitorial fee for 12 consecutive hours, with a $100.00 refundable damage deposit.

The Sunrise Room flyer prints the totals as $256.00 for six hours and $410.50 for twelve, and says the hours include setup and decorating time (Sunrise Room rate flyer). It lists a room capacity of 40 with white folding chairs, and the Venue Rentals page suggests it for baby showers, bridal showers, weddings and meetings (Venue Rentals page).

Alcohol is allowed in Pierce Hall and the Sunrise Room only with insurance and a permit, which the Fort Pierce rate sheets price at $197.54 for alcohol liability insurance and $50.00 for the alcohol permit, while the Garden Center and Maravilla Center ban alcohol outright.

Both River Walk Center flyers end with the same line, no alcohol without insurance, and list the $197.54 insurance and $50.00 permit as separate charges from the room fee (Pierce Hall rate sheet; Sunrise Room flyer). For park areas and city streets, the city's Alcohol Permits page sets a $50 consumption only fee and a $200 sales and consumption fee (Fort Pierce Alcohol Permits page); a renter who plans to sell drinks rather than serve them should ask which permit applies.

The two neighborhood venues are stricter. The Garden Center sheet says alcohol and DJs are absolutely prohibited, and the Maravilla Center sheet says DJs and alcohol are absolutely prohibited (Garden Center rate sheet; Maravilla Center rate sheet).

The City of Fort Pierce rents four indoor rooms through the River Walk Center office, and the rate sheets differ in price, deposit, hours and alcohol rules.

The Garden Center sheet places the building at the roundabout of S 10th St, Georgia and Parkway and gives its address as 911 Parkway Dr, while the city's Venue Rentals page lists 911 Park Way (Venue Rentals page). The Maravilla Center sheet places that building on Oleander Boulevard between Maple Ave and Roselyn Ave, and the Venue Rentals page says Maravilla is available for rent only on weekend days, Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, with Zumba, dance exercise and chair exercise classes on weekdays and public tennis and basketball courts (Maravilla Center rate sheet; Venue Rentals page).

Every Fort Pierce rate sheet bans glitter, nails, tacks and screws in walls, and the two neighborhood venues add music, DJ and decorating limits that forfeit the deposit if broken.

Both River Walk Center sheets also bar staples and fixings in the wood beams, plus vinyl decals or tape for runners on the floor (Pierce Hall rate sheet; Sunrise Room flyer). The Garden Center sheet calls its location a residential neighborhood where rules must be strictly adhered to: music inside only, no DJs or amplified or loud music, no decorating the night before or before contract time, no standing on chairs, and hours of 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, with the warning that the deposit is lost with no exceptions (Garden Center rate sheet). The Maravilla sheet likewise asks that music stay inside and low, bars decorating the night before and says hours are 9:00 am to 9:00 pm with no exceptions (Maravilla Center rate sheet).

Rooms and pavilions are booked through the River Walk Center office at 600 N Indian River Dr, (772) 489-6473, and the city requires pavilion reservations in person.

The Park Pavilion Rentals page says pavilion rentals must be made in person at the River Walk Center and lists two parks: Jaycee Park at A1A and Melaleuca Drive with four large pavilions, and Kid's Crossing (Rotary Park) at 23rd St and Virginia Ave with two large pavilions (Park Pavilion Rentals page). The city's Street Closing and Miscellaneous Permits page adds that pavilions go first come, first served, that the reservation charge is non-refundable, and that city parks keep sunrise to sunset hours (Street Closing and Miscellaneous Permits page). Pavilion fees for Jaycee Park appear in the Jaycee Park guide.

Forms on the River Walk Center page serve only as a guide for preparing an application; the paperwork is handled at the office once the fees are paid (River Walk Center page). Since the rate sheets carry no effective date, the office is also the place to confirm that the printed totals still apply before signing a contract.
