Tournaments, Events and Concessions

Events

By City Code and Park Rules, all organized events require permits to ensure proper planning and logistical coordination. This includes all tournaments that require admission or participation fees. This ensures successful experience for those proposing tournaments, while maintaining public park access. Applications for small tournaments require a minimum of 60 days in advance to ensure organizers have sufficient time to prepare permit requirements such a use fees, insurance and related submittals. Some park sites are also bookable for other purposes, athletic leagues and require time to cross check and avoid potential conflicts.
