Small Groups

Groups of <25 people looking for recreational use or pick up games/activities can do so freely when fields are not in use by organized programs. A permit is required:

• When use of an athletic field is by a league or organization, company or school, or is an organized “private” social use (birthday parties, picnics, etc.), or is a Community Event or Special Event
• When a specific reserved time is desired
• When services by the Town are sought
• When a gathering is large enough – either in attendance or in size (Per section 14-45 of the Town Ordinances, permits are required for reservation of any area or place in a park or preserve for special or private use; uses of a park or preserve by groups in excess of twenty-five (25) persons)
• When hired services, such as entertainment, catering, or live/band music, is an element of the use
• When the gathering includes any high risk activities (examples include extreme sports and recreational activities with dangerous elements)
• When the gathering is for a business purpose, involves sales, advertising, or admissions
• When the use requires permission to exceed park hours, noise levels, etc.
• When a gathering is beyond the scope of normal/intended use of a facility
