Picnics | Park Permits
City Parks are a favorite place for picnics, family get-togethers and office outings. A Certificate of Park Use entitles you to a specific group picnic area in a City Park. Group Areas may include multiple tables, barbecues, or a shade structure. Permits are issued for the convenience of users and guarantee exclusive use of a particular location for a specific day and time.
A Certificate for Park Use is required for any activity with 50 or more people and/or in which assembly is intended to last more than 30 minutes. Applications for Park Use may be submitted one year in advance and must be made a minimum of 2 days in advance. Applications are processed in the order they are received. Walk-in customers have priority over emailed, faxed and mailed applications.
