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

050 governs reservations of park facilities citywide, from the Rose Bowl-area picnic sections to neighborhood tennis courts. No one may use a fee-based facility until the responsible city official issues a permit and the applicant has paid every fee the code prescribes. The application must be in writing and must state the facility name, proposed use, date and the person the permit is issued to. D lets the official refuse the permit outright if the proposed use would be detrimental to public health and safety or would interfere with the facility's efficient operation; otherwise the permit issues, with or without conditions, once fees are paid and code requirements are met.

100 adds an insurance layer for larger reservations: the city can require a policy covering at least $250,000 for bodily injury or death to one person, $500,000 for multiple people in one accident, and $100,000 for property damage, non-cancelable without 15 days' written notice and naming the city as an additional insured. 060 gives the city manager power to cancel any permit or contract and order immediate vacation of the premises if the applicant misrepresented a material fact or if the use turns out to be detrimental to public health, safety or morals. 080.
