Organized leagues or special events need a permit to use an athletic field or court. For people under 18, the permit is free. For those 18 and over, a fee is required.

The comfort station will have public restroom facilities and an office area for Park’s Staff. The structure will also house a mechanical equipment room and storage area for tools and equipment.
