Small Group Usage
Small, unorganized groups of approximately five or fewer individuals, as well as individual families, are welcome to use our park spaces without the need for a permit. However, organized groups, larger gatherings, and activities requiring use of portable goals and/or other equipment must obtain a permit prior to using the space.

Please note that even if you do not require a permit, the use of the park space is subject to availability. If an area is already permitted by another group or is temporarily closed due to weather conditions, maintenance, or other necessary reasons, access to the space may be restricted. 

Additionally, all activities conducted within the park must not cause a disturbance to other park users or the surrounding community. Your cooperation helps ensure that everyone can enjoy our beautiful park spaces. For more information on obtaining a permit, please contact Customer Service at 561-966-6611
