Planning an event/activity in a City park or facility?

If your event is private with less than 100 people and does not include alcohol, bounce houses, amplified sound, or any other high-risk activities, you are welcome to reserve a space online or in-person at one of our registration sites.

If your event meets any of the below criteria, the City considers you a special event and therefore will require a Special Event Permit and other required items:
     - Event is open to the public
     - Expecting 100 or more people
     - Serving alcohol
     - Using amplified sound
     - Contains high-risk activities such as a bounce house, rock-climbing wall, petting zoo, etc.
