Kenton County, KY Special Events & Permits: Park Event Permits (2026)

23, most recently amended by Ord. " Those fees are not set once and forgotten: the Parks and Recreation Committee proposes them annually, and the Fiscal Court must approve the schedule before it takes effect. A copy of the approved fee list has to be kept on file at two offices, the County Judge/Executive's office and the Public Works Department, so a resident can check the current rate before applying. The section draws a distinction between ordinary park visitors and outside organizers: "for clinics and tournaments run by outside organizations charging an entry fee, the county shall assess a charge to the organization," on top of any facility fee.

The permit requirement itself is stated plainly in the final sentence: exclusive use of any shelter house, athletic field or court requires a permit, meaning a group cannot simply show up and claim a field for a private game, practice or tournament without going through Public Works or the Parks Committee first. 23, so unpermitted exclusive use is enforced under the same Chapter 94 general penalty that governs the rest of the park chapter.
