What the venue publishes
COMPUTED, stated explicitly: the published Outdoor Spaces table for the Community Center lists "Amphitheater, Capacity 700, 2,284 sq ft" at Peak Hours Nonresident $250/hr (Sunnyvale Resident and Nonprofit $200/hr). The NON-RESIDENT rate is used, multiplied by the published minimum: "All other rooms require a minimum rental time of two (2) hours." 2 x $250 = $500. The off-peak nonresident rate is $175/hr, so an off-peak 2-hour booking is $350.
$500 is the lowest published rate for this space. Day, season, and residency can move it up.
