Conditions

Bookings are not required to hold a family picnic in the park, including use of available barbecues.
Visitors are asked to respect the safety and enjoyment of others sharing these spaces.
When not being used by our sporting clubs for training and competition, the City's sports fields and reserves can be used on a casual basis for special events such as family barbecues, birthdays, community fairs and events.
Booking confirmation is determined by assessing the suitability of the request, potential ground damage, impact on existing user groups and impact on the surrounding residents.
While a formal booking can be made for a specific location within a park, it does not give the hirer sole use of the location as the park remains available to the public at all times. The booking does, however, restrict any other formal events from taking place at the given location at the same time.
A refundable bond (to cover potential parkland damage) may be required dependent on the activity, infrastructure and vehicle access.
