Permit Requirements: APRD has established a permit system for uses of various facilities. Some of these permits may be subject to fees or deposits.
1. Ball Fields and Soccer Fields: These facilities are available for the general informal use by residents, property owners and their guests without payment of any permit fee. In order to reserve these facilities for formal organized or league play, a permit must be issued and all applicable fees must be paid. Reservations will be accepted only for formal play tournament games or other similar forms of organized participation. Permits for organized field use are only issued to league administrators and not individual coaches.
In order to use any ball field or soccer field for such an organized team, at least one member of the team must be a resident or property owner. The permit application and permittee must be a resident or property owner and be 18 years of age or older.
Reservations may be limited to certain ball fields. A schedule of times allowing for reservations will be established by the General Manager. All reservations will be subject to time limitations, and to use limitations and other conditions set forth in the permit. 2. Public Gatherings: Use of the park for such activities as an exhibition, holiday celebration, rally, concert, procession, parade or other similar uses, which can reasonably be expected to have an attendance of 20 persons or more, requires a permit.
Permit Rules and Regulations: Any persons seeking issuance of a permit shall file an application with the General Manager or designee. The application shall include:
The name and address of the applicant The name and address of the person, persons, corporation or association sponsoring the activity The nature of the proposed activity The date and hours for which the permit is desired The facilities or portion of the park for which such permit is desired An estimate of the anticipated attendance Any other information which the General Manager shall find reasonably necessary to determine whether or not a permit should be issued
The General Manager shall issue a permit when it is found:
That the applicant has no outstanding payments due the District That the proposed activity and use will not unreasonably interfere with or detract from the general public enjoyment of the park or surrounding neighborhoods That the proposed activity and use will not unreasonably interfere with or detract from the promotion of public health, welfare, safety and recreation That the proposed activity or use is not reasonably anticipated to incite violence, crime or disorderly conduct That the proposed activity will not cause unusual, extraordinary or burdensome expense on the part of the District That the facilities desired have not been reserved by prior permit
The General Manager may impose such conditions upon any permit which are necessary or appropriate to ensure that the park rules and regulations are observed, that the above findings are fulfilled and that the park is properly cleaned and restored to its prior condition after use pursuant to the permit.
The General Manager shall issue a permit or shall notify an applicant in writing of the reasons for refusing a permit within five days after receiving an application. Any person denied a permit by the General Manager may appeal the decision to the District Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The District Board will consider the appeal under the standards set forth in this policy, and its decision shall be final.
The permittee and all users pursuant to the permit shall be bound by all rules, regulations, posted signs and any conditions of the permit.
THE PERSON OR PERSONS TO WHOM THE PERMIT IS ISSUED SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY SUSTAINED BY ANY PERSON BY REASON OF THE INTENTIONAL ACTS OR NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON OR PERSONS TO WHOM THE PERMIT SHALL HAVE BEEN ISSUED OR THE INTENTIONAL ACTS OR NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON OR PERSONS USING THE PARK PURSUANT TO THE PERMIT.
The General Manager shall have the authority to revoke a permit upon finding a violation of these regulations or upon good cause.
What, Where and When to File for a Permit:
In order for any reservation to be confirmed, a
permit, with any applicable fees, must be on file at
the District Office.
An application for a permit may be mailed and filed at the office of the Arapahoe Park and Recreation District at 16799 E. Lake Ave., Centennial, Colorado 80016.
All applicable fees must be paid before a permit can
be secured. An application must be filed at least five (5)
working days in advance of intended use. For any assistance in making application for a permit, call the District Office message line at 303-269-8415.
