League Reservation Timeline

For leagues seeking seasonal field assignments, Parks & Recreation recommends submitting requests by the following deadlines:

  • Spring season requests: Feb. 1
  • Summer season requests: May 1
  • Fall season requests: Aug. 1

Reservation Process

Organizations interested in reserving City athletic facilities should begin by contacting Parks & Recreation staff with their preferred dates, location, and intended use.

Staff will explain facility availability, reservation requirements, estimated costs, insurance requirements, and necessary paperwork. Depending on the type of facility being reserved, applicants may be required to submit a user agreement, reservation request form, certificate of insurance (COI), deposit, and other supporting documentation before a reservation is finalized.

Leagues participating in the seasonal allocation process submit practice schedules, field requests, required paperwork, and insurance documentation for review.

Requests received by the seasonal deadlines are considered during the City’s field allocation process, where historical use is taken into account when assigning fields. Leagues that participate in the seasonal allocation process are invited to attend quarterly field allocation meetings to help coordinate facility use and maximize access to City athletic fields.

After assignments are completed, leagues receive schedules identifying their approved field locations and times. Requests are accepted year-round, and field space that is not assigned through the seasonal process may be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
