Community Centers, Scout House & Green Spaces

You have the ability to rent designated spaces at the Morgan Family Community Center (MFCC), George Mullen Activity Center (GMAC) and the North Port Aquatic Center (NPAC). These areas include the gymnasiums, multi-purpose rooms (with or without kitchen access), meeting rooms, as well as designated tented areas to full facility rental at the NPAC.

Registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations will receive a 25% discount on hourly rates, not including kitchen rentals, technology, or staffing fees. Maximum capacity permitted will depend on furniture layout.

We have designated four Green Spaces within the City Center Campus in which you may rent for your outdoor event. These grassy areas give event participants and visitors easy access to your festivities. The sky is the limit to what can be created at these locations as it is a perfect setting for festivals, merchant events or an enchanting evening under the stars.

Additionally, we invite you to rent "Green Spaces" at the Garden of the Five Senses, Myakkahatchee Creek Greenway Disc Golf Course and Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.

To rent space one of the above spaces, please stop by the Morgan Family Community Center or call 941-429-PARK (7275), option #4 for assistance.
