The City has contracted with ASM Global to manage the following venues: Adventist Health Arena, Banner Island Ballpark, Bob Hope Theater, Oak Park Ice Rink and the Downtown Marina/Morelli Boat Launch. Together, these venues are budgeted in the Venues Fund.
The City of Stockton manages the following venues: Pixie Woods Children’s Playpark, Civic Auditorium, Weberpoint Events Center, Buckley Cove Boat Launch, and Louis Park Boat Launch. Oversight of the use and operation of the City-managed facilities is provided by the Special Events unit within the Economic Development Department. Funding for the Civic Auditorium, Weberpoint Events Center and Pixie Woods is budgeted in the Special Events Fund, while both Louis Park and Buckley Cove Boat Launches are budgeted in the Boat Launch Fund. Funding for all the above venues comes from the rental revenues, admission fees, and/or use leases along with General Fund contribution, with the exception of the Boat launch fund which is self-supported as an enterprise fund.
