Irondequoit, NY Special Events & Permits: Park Event Permits (2026)

Section 164-8 of the Town Property Ordinance is the permit rule for organized use of Town recreation land in the Town of Irondequoit. Subsection (A), amended 6-20-2023 by L.L. No. 5-2023, sets the permit season: unless otherwise authorized by the Director of Recreation or his or her designee, permits for organized sports are for the period from May 1 to November 30. Subsection (B) sets the priority rule: a person or persons with a permit to use a designated area of Town property have priority to use it, and all others must immediately vacate that designated area.

Chapter 164 prints no fee schedule, application form or facility-by-facility reservation procedure. It addresses permits only for organized sports and for a designated area, so a pavilion or picnic-area booking is not described in this chapter's text.

Several neighboring rules in § 164-6 shape any gathering on Town property. Beverages are limited by § 164-6(C): open containers of liquor, beer or alcoholic beverage are barred except at the Camp Eastman lodges, the July 4 beer garden and other designated Town special events, and other requests go in writing to the Irondequoit Town Supervisor. Public vendors and peddlers are excluded under subsection (E) unless the Commissioner of Public Works authorizes them in writing. Subsection (G) bars animals at Town-designated special events other than clearly marked service dogs, and subsection (P) prohibits cooking grills not under direct Town supervision during a special event. Section 164-5 closes Town property from 9:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. unless posted otherwise or authorized in writing.

A large gathering with a parade, road race, festival, show or concession stand is a separate matter under Chapter 194, Special Events. Section 194-2 requires a license for any organized activity of that kind, the application goes to the Town Board, and § 194-6 limits each license to not more than 10 days and one license per calendar year.
