Full Breakdown

Anyone wanting to reserve a portion of a Buckeye park or community services facility, a sports field, meeting room, or ramada, must get a permit from the community services director or designee. The director issues permits after confirming the activity won't interfere with public enjoyment, health, safety, or exceed normal staffing costs, and that the space isn't already booked. Permit holders are bound by all applicable rules and ordinances, remain liable for any loss or damage they cause, and cannot sublease or transfer the reservation to another person or location. The director can revoke a permit for any rule violation or for good cause at any time.
