Full Breakdown

Section 74-53 of the Monroe Township Code, for Monroe Township in Gloucester County, is the fee schedule for park permits for special events and cites Chapter 226. Chapter 226 is not in the exported code text, so the application procedure is not quoted here. The rates are effective as of July 1, 2024, and the section was amended through 12-10-2025 by Ord. No. O:29-2025. The Parks and Recreation Department is the office the section names for rates before that date.

Pavilion rental has two blocks and an all-day rate. A resident pays $50 for the 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. block or the 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. block, and $100 all day. A nonresident pays $100 for either block and $200 all day.

Field rentals are priced per session. Baseball and softball fields are $100 per session of 2.5 hours without lights and $150 with lights. Soccer, lacrosse and football fields are $300 per session without lights and $350 with lights, and those sessions are two hours long. Pickleball and basketball courts are $25 per hour for residents and $35 per hour for nonresidents. Each additional field is $200.

Tournaments carry their own prices: $600 for one day on three fields and $1,200 for two days on three fields for baseball and softball, $300 for a Friday night session only, and a $150 maintenance fee for a tournament. Clinics and camps are $500 for five days.

The section limits how fields are booked. Baseball and softball sessions run only in the 2.5 hour blocks the code lists, and lights are not extended. Rentals are not available for leagues, only individual games and practice. Bulk rates for previously recognized teams ended after the 2024 spring season.

Violations & Fines

Section 74-53 prints rates and booking limits but no penalty. Enforcement of park use falls under Chapter 226 and other Township ordinances, which are not in the text quoted here, so this page states no fine for using a pavilion or field without a permit.
