Events

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.
