About Centennial Grove in Essex

Centennial Grove is a municipal recreation property in Essex with community-use areas, athletic facilities and two principal rentable event spaces:

  • Folsom Pavilion
  • Centennial Grove Cottage

The Town of Essex manages use and rental of Centennial Grove through its current regulations and reservation process.

Current Town information also identifies Centennial Grove as an active location for YMCA Camp Dory and other organized community uses.

Folsom Pavilion Flower Delivery

The Folsom Pavilion is the larger rentable gathering facility at Centennial Grove.

Current 2026 Town records establish an occupancy limit of approximately 257 people for the Folsom Pavilion.

Ward’s can deliver flowers for an approved Pavilion rental or organized event when complete recipient and event information is provided.

Appropriate floral deliveries may include:

  • Guest-of-honor bouquets
  • Birthday flowers
  • Retirement bouquets
  • Volunteer appreciation
  • Community-recognition flowers
  • Speaker or presenter bouquets
  • Organizer thank-you flowers
  • Small tabletop arrangements
  • Presentation flowers

Centennial Grove Cottage Flower Delivery

The Centennial Grove Cottage is also available through the Town’s rental process.

Current 2026 Town records establish an occupancy limit of approximately 100 people for the Cottage.

The Town’s current calendar continues to show Cottage rentals and community-group use, confirming that the facility remains active.

Flowers for a Cottage rental should include the recipient or organization’s name and the scheduled rental time.

Centennial Grove Rentals

Current Town regulations provide a formal rental process for Centennial Grove.

The current rental schedule includes separate options for:

  • Folsom Pavilion
  • Folsom Pavilion and ball fields
  • Centennial Grove Cottage
  • Ball fields

Rental applications and required fees are handled directly by the Town of Essex. Ward’s Florist does not reserve Centennial Grove or manage access to the property.

Approved Private & Community Event Flowers

Current Centennial Grove regulations specifically allow participants in organized events that have rented the Grove through the Town’s reservation process.

Ward’s can therefore provide flowers for an approved private, organizational or community rental without assuming that every type of private event is automatically permitted.

Flowers may be appropriate for:

  • An identified guest of honor
  • An event organizer
  • A community leader
  • A retiring employee or volunteer
  • A speaker or presenter
  • A birthday celebrant
  • A special award recipient
  • A host or hostess

When an approved birthday gathering is being held as part of a permitted Centennial Grove rental, Ward’s can deliver flowers for the identified guest of honor.

Popular options include:

  • Bright seasonal bouquets
  • Roses
  • Colorful mixed arrangements
  • Presentation bouquets

Retirement & Recognition Flowers

An approved gathering at the Pavilion or Cottage may include recognition of an employee, volunteer, community member or other honoree.

  • Retirement bouquets
  • Years-of-service flowers
  • Volunteer-appreciation bouquets
  • Community-recognition arrangements

  • Board members
  • Guest speakers
  • Special honorees

YMCA Camp Dory at Centennial Grove

Centennial Grove is also a current summer location for YMCA Camp Dory.

Town calendars show Camp Dory using Centennial Grove during the summer season.

Ward’s can provide flowers for an identified adult recipient such as:

  • Camp director
  • Counselor
  • Program leader
  • Instructor
  • Volunteer
  • Retiring staff member

Flowers should be addressed to the specific adult recipient rather than simply to the camp.

Seasonal Access at Centennial Grove

The Town currently lists Centennial Grove park hours as sunrise to sunset.

During July and August, current Town information states that the park is closed to general visitors on weekdays, excluding holidays, between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. while YMCA Camp Dory operates.

Scheduled rentals and organized programs may have separate approved access under the Town’s reservation process.

Seasonal Centennial Grove Rentals

Current Town rental regulations divide Centennial Grove rentals into spring, summer and fall periods.

These currently run generally from:

  • Spring: April 15 through May 31
  • Summer: June 1 through September 15
  • Fall: September 16 through November 15

Rental availability, hours and policies are controlled by the Town of Essex and may change.

Is Centennial Grove a Wedding Venue?

Ward’s does not market Centennial Grove as a dedicated wedding venue because the current Town information we reviewed confirms organized rentals but does not specifically advertise weddings.

Customers considering any specific private-event use should confirm that use directly with the Town of Essex before making floral or other vendor arrangements.

If the Town has approved a particular event, Ward’s can provide appropriate bouquets, tabletop flowers and presentation arrangements within our normal floral services.

Centennial Grove Is One Flower-Delivery Destination

The Folsom Pavilion, Centennial Grove Cottage, recreational areas and related Grove facilities are all part of the same Town-owned Centennial Grove property.

Ward’s therefore uses one comprehensive Centennial Grove flower-delivery page rather than separate SEO pages for the Pavilion and Cottage.

Important Centennial Grove Delivery Information

Because Centennial Grove contains several facilities and outdoor areas, complete delivery information is important.

Please provide:

  • The recipient’s full name
  • Centennial Grove
  • Folsom Pavilion or Centennial Grove Cottage
  • The organization or renter’s name when applicable
  • The event or program name
  • The event date
  • The scheduled start time
  • A recipient or organizer telephone number
