permitting process for special events requiring use of City property and/or City logistical support. Special Event Permits have quarterly submission deadlines; see the schedule to the below. Park Use Permits are required for groups wishing to hold small activities on City park property that do not disrupt the typical public use of the park. Park Use Permit requests must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the activity. Activities requiring a Park Use Permit are typically private, must be free to attend and must not be a commercial use. These activities have no concession sales or vendors, though donations to a non-profit organization are allowed to be collected. They also do not include tents or temporary structures. Park Use activities have limited event components, minimal safety concerns, and do not require preparation or clean up time by City staff. Park Use Permits are also required for all organized filming and photography activities taking place on City park property.
