PARK USAGE AGREEMENT
NOW on this '2 day of 1, 2017, this Park Usage Agreement is made by
and between The Cedar Valley Catholic Schools, and The City of Waterloo. The purpose of
this Park Usage Agreement is to allow the Columbus High School football teams of
Waterloo, Iowa, to hold practices at Waterloo's City Park, commonly known as Bontrager
Park. Bontrager Park is located directly across the street from Columbus High School, on
West Ninth Street, and Columbus High School football teams are without a suitable
practice area.
That this Agreement has been approved by The Cedar Valley Catholic Schools, as the
Waterloo City Council.
1. Term. This Park Rental Agreement will run from the beginning of the season for football
practice, namely, mid-August of 2017, and will run through the end of the football
season, namely, mid-November of 2017.
2. Designated Practice Areas. The Columbus High School football teams will designate an
area of Bontrager Park, and will hold their practices in that specific area only. They will be
responsible for mowing and lining their designated practice area for the term of this
Agreement.
3. Times. The Columbus High football teams shall have priority for use of the designated
practice area, Monday through Friday, between 2:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Also Saturdays,
between 8:00 a.m. through 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. through 8:00 p.m. on Sundays.
4. Additional Terms. The Columbus High football team shall not be allowed to erect any
storage building on site. The football team may leave blocking sleds on the property, but will
do so at their own risk. The City of Waterloo would not be responsible for any theft or
damage to any equipment or sleds.
It is expected that the Columbus High football players will not park their vehicles at
Bontrager Park or interfere with traffic in the area.
The football team shall clean the area after each and every practice. There will
not be left behind any type of litter at the designated area of the football team or its
coaches, managers, or spectators.
It is expected that there will be cross country events held at Bontrager Park during
the time frame of this agreement and Columbus football practice shall not interfere with
such events.
5. Hold Harmless. The Cedar Valley Catholic Schools further agree to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless, the City of Waterloo from and against any claim, demand, cause,
Toss, liability or damage whatsoever, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney
fees and expenses and costs which arise from the above-described activity. Further, the
Cedar Valley Catholic Schools agree to add the City of Waterloo as a named insured on
its liability policy for purposes of this Agreement.
6. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party.
7. Damage to City Park. That Cedar Valley Catholic Schools shall not damage the area to
which they are using for the football practices from August to November. In the event the
City of Waterloo feels that the Park is enduring damage which would result in City dollars to
fix and/or maintain the park, the Cedar Valley Catholic Schools shall cease using said Park
upon demand of the City of Waterloo. Further, they shall be responsible for bringing the
damaged park back to an acceptable and/or original condition prior to the usage of said Park
to the football team. The cost of any and all damage shall be paid by the Cedar Valley
Catholic Schools.

area at the end of the season to ensure thick healthy turf for the next season. Type of seed
shall be determined by City of Waterloo.
