- Tree Go Zip line adventure course;
- Rotary Lodge and Camp Centennial, a day camp that hosts 300 children per week, which operates out of the lodge and the park (NOTE: The scope of this agreement does NOT include the provision of food and beverage concession services for the Centennial Rotary Lodge);
- Centennial Beach, a man-made beach that receives over 25,000 visitors each season (July and August) NOTE: The existing Centennial Beach facility was decommissioned in 2017 and is no longer operational; however, a new facility is currently scheduled to be constructed, and will be open to the public in the summer of 2019.
- A number of walking trails (gravel and paved), picnic areas, and basketball courts;

The pad is also located directly across from the main stairwell and large walking trail / sledding hill leading into the lower
portion of the Park, which provides basketball courts, and access to Centennial Park island.
Proponents may also place smaller mobile carts in and around Centennial Park in high-traffic areas (i.e. Tree-Go Adventure, Rocky Stone Field, Centennial Park Island) throughout the year, or on an event-by-event basis; however, the City cannot guarantee access to water, sewer and electricity in these remote areas.
A secondary mobile food concession area can also be established next to the bleachers at Rocky Stone Field, during the summer and / or fall months, or on an event-by-event basis.
