RFQ033837 - R&P - Kilbourne Run Sponsorship Opportunities

The City of Columbus Recreation and Parks Department is seeking interested agencies to sponsor various elements of the newly renovated Kilbourne Run Sports Park. This RFI collects market interest for naming‑rights, signage, concession, and other sponsorship opportunities, with the intention of issuing a formal RFP later. Sponsorship tiers range from community‑field banners at $1,000 per year to a Premier Sponsor at $300,000 per year, each typically requiring a 5‑year commitment. Successful sponsors receive branding exposure to an estimated 325,000 annual park visitors, vehicle traffic of over 20,000 daily, and extensive community outreach. • Sponsorship categories include field naming rights, concession building naming, picnic shelter naming, walking‑path signage, and food‑truck space. • Annual sponsorship fees vary widely ($1,000 – $300,000) with total 5‑year commitments ranging from $5,000 to $1,500,000. • No commission is paid to the agency for concession sponsors; all concessions must purchase beverages from a designated supplier. • Questions must be submitted by Oct 30 2026; all proposal packages are due by Nov 6 2026 via email attachment to Alaina Reimer.
