At its Jan. 28 meeting, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit requested by the Parks and Recreation Department that would allow alcohol sales at the Waller Creek Boathouse. The issuing of the permit is part of a wider project by Parks and Rec to bring alcohol sales operating within parks into compliance with the city code, which the department discovered would be necessary during a 2020 review of then-current vendors. The change may not mean buzz for boaters, though: Perch Cafe, which had sold beer and wine along with coffee and foodstuffs at the boathouse, permanently closed last year. No other vendor has stepped in so far.
Parks and Rec wins permit for alcohol sales at Waller Creek Boathouse, but who’ll sell the booze?
