Coral Springs, FL Special Events & Permits: Park Event Permits (2026)

Section 16-2(F)(1) requires a permit for five categories of park activity: gatherings of twenty or more people, contests and performances including fairs, circuses and musical events, public meetings and parades, exclusive use of a facility by one group, and operating a mobile vending vehicle. Under (F)(2), the application goes to the director's designated representative on the department's form and must be filed not less than three days nor more than ninety days before the event. Under (F)(3)(a), the director must issue the permit unless the activity would unreasonably interfere with public use, health, safety or welfare, is reasonably likely to cause violence, would create extraordinary city expense, or the park is already reserved for another use at that day and hour.

The director may condition a permit on restrictions covering fires, amplified sound, alcohol, dancing, and animals, plus a damage/cleanup security deposit, an advance security-services fee, additional sanitation facilities, and proof of insurance (F)(3)(b). Permits are non-transferable without written consent, bind the permittee to all park rules, and can be revoked for a rule or condition violation (F)(3)(c),(f). The city's parks and recreation department, at (A)(1), administers the process, and the director may also extend or contract park hours or close sections outright under the same section's operating-policy provisions.
