• Confirm membership validity, renewal rules and equipment restrictions.
• Ask whether you can use other participating Saint Paul fitness centers.

Frogtown Community Center Rental Prices

The City rents approved recreation-center rooms, athletic areas and other spaces using its published facility-category rates. Actual availability and room classification must be confirmed with Frogtown staff.

Saint Paul’s rental policy also lists a $15 administrative fee when rental fees are collected. A $300 cleanup or damage deposit may be required. Events outside normal operating hours can involve extra staffing costs. Discounts may apply for multiple dates under one approved application.

How to Rent a Room, Gym or Athletic Field

1. Choose your space. Decide whether you need a small meeting room, large room, dance studio, gymnasium, kitchen or outdoor field.
2. Estimate attendance. Ask staff which room and setup can legally accommodate your expected guests.
3. Contact Frogtown rentals. Call 651-266-5405 with your date, time, guest count and intended activity.
4. Request the total quote. Ask about the base hourly rate, taxes, deposit, staffing, security, cleanup and equipment.
5. Check event rules. Confirm food, outside vendors, decorations, music, sales, alcohol restrictions and insurance requirements.
6. Submit the official application. Follow the City’s reservation and permit process. Provide any required information through the official channels.
7. Receive confirmation. Do not assume a room is reserved merely because it looks available on the calendar.
8. Include setup and cleanup. Reserve adequate time for your preparations and departure.

Questions to Ask Before Paying

• Is this space available exclusively for my group?
• Are tables, chairs and audiovisual equipment included?
• Does kitchen rental allow cooking or only food preparation?
• Is additional staffing required for evening or weekend events?
• Can I cancel or change the booking, and what is refundable?
• Do I need event insurance or extra permits?
• Is the outdoor sports area affected by weather or existing league bookings?

Outdoor Fields, Courts & Playground

Frogtown’s outdoor recreation area opened as a major expansion in 2020, following the community center’s opening in 2019. The City identifies the following facilities:

• Multi-use field supporting soccer, football, baseball and lacrosse.
• Outdoor basketball court.
• Badminton and sepak takraw court.
• Playground for children and families.

For organized team practices, private athletic sessions and reserved events, staff must confirm the booking. An apparently empty field may already have a scheduled activity.

The City’s official athletic field rental directory contains an older Frogtown address, 237 Thomas Avenue. For the current community-center entrance and general visitor directions, use 230 Como Avenue, as listed on the main facility page and in the official program registration system.

Free Youth Meals & Community Participation

Saint Paul Parks and Recreation supports youth meal programs through qualifying recreation sites. The City’s stated eligibility includes youth age 18 and under, plus some older individuals participating in qualifying disability-related school programs.

Specific meal schedules vary by program, date and location. Check the Frogtown center page for the current meal link or call staff before arriving solely for a meal.

Volunteering at Frogtown

Saint Paul recreation centers also support volunteer involvement through youth sports coaching, mentoring, special events and recreation activities. Interested residents can use the City’s volunteer information to understand current opportunities and screening requirements.
