Moreno Valley, CA Special Events & Permits: Park Event Permits (2026)

050 puts the parks and community services director in charge of scheduling every park and park facility. Groups under 50 people can simply request a reservation through the director, submitted in writing on approved forms at least five working days before the event; city residents get scheduling priority over outside groups. 38, may have to file a special event application depending on the activity (a carnival or concert, for example), and any event bringing an inflatable jumper or a generator automatically requires a formal permit regardless of headcount.

Formal permit applications go to the same department office with the required fee, at least five working days in advance. The director can attach conditions covering time, place, frequency, duration, maximum attendance, parking, and equipment placement, and may require extra water, sanitary facilities, refuse receptacles, or a designated number of approved personnel set by the police chief. Fees and deposits cover administrative costs, damage repair security, cleanup, and extra police personnel. The director must deny a permit if no suitable park or facility is available, if the police chief finds unmitigable security risks, if the applicant misses the filing deadline, if the site is already booked, if the applicant defaulted on a prior permit's terms or fees, if a hazardous condition threatens participants, or if the event is really a fee-charging class not sponsored by the city.

080 separately requires the applicant to carry public liability insurance naming the city and district as additional insureds, with at least ten days' notice before any reduction or cancellation of coverage, and to sign an indemnification and hold-harmless agreement.
