Seasonal Use for Athletic Fields and Courts 

Applications for seasonal permitted uses of athletic fields, courts, gymnasiums, aquatics, and spaces are due four times per year in a seasonal rotation. Seasonal permitted uses are requested by season and may not be requested for a period longer than 16 weeks. 

Applicants for seasonal permits will be notified of whether their permitted use is granted within 21 business days after the last day of the Permit Window. Seasonal permit applications are collected during a “Permit Window” (usually two weeks). All applications that come in during that time frame are considered to have come in at the same time. Application approvals are determined by “Priority of Use” as outlined in Section II. See Priority Of Use.
