Hohlt Park - City of Brenham

October 2, 2014
Dear Tournament Director,
As 2014 comes to a close, we at the City of Brenham are looking forward to an exciting 2015 sports
season at our athletic facilities. On behalf of the City Parks and Recreation Department I will be taking
care of all tournament bookings for 2015. I will also be working very closely with you, as a Tournament
Director, and our local CVB to ensure a successful event.
Attached, you will find our Basic Rental Information, Tournament Reservation Application and facility
maps of our parks. The field rental fees were recommended by our Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board and were approved by City Council and have been in effect since January 2009. Please note that
you must provide proof of liability insurance for the event/tournament and a deposit must be paid at
the time of the reservation. No reservation will be secure without a deposit.
Facility rental invoices will be emailed to you and a final payment is due no later than five businesses
days after your event. If you are a onetime field user, your deposit will be returned within 14 working
days after the event/tournament following all inspections of our grounds. If you will be using our
facilities throughout the year, your deposit will be kept until your last scheduled event/tournament and
then will be returned to you also as long as there is no negligent or unnecessary damage done to the
facility. We encourage you to look over these documents and contact me if you have any questions.
Please complete the following Rental Agreement Application and send, along with deposit, to the
following address:

All previous bills with the City of Brenham will need to be taken care of prior to booking your next
event/tournament. Field reservations will not be made until previous bills are paid in full. If you are
uncertain whether or not you are in good standing with the City please ask.
Also, the City of Brenham and the local CVB will be working together to make every visitor feel
welcomed and enjoy their stay. Let us know if you would like assistance with hotel reservations or
information regarding dining and attractions in and around the area. For more information of what
Brenham has to offer visit www.visitbrenhamtexas.com.
Feel free to contact me with any questions by email or phone. We look forward to working with you
and hope your tournament(s) are a success.
Sincerely,
