Summary
Groups wanting exclusive use of a Perris park or recreation facility need a city manager-issued permit; smaller gatherings under 50 people can use a simpler reservation instead.
The city manager shall be responsible for reserving and granting permits for the use of parks and recreation facilities, or portions thereof... A permittee has exclusive use of the park and recreation facility, or portion thereof, designated in a permit issued by the city manager. Groups of less than 50 persons... are not required to obtain a permit, but may request the city manager to reserve the park or recreation facilities for such use.

Full Breakdown
The city manager grants permits and reservations for park and recreation facility use, and a permit holder gets exclusive use of the space named in it. Groups under 50 people don't need a formal permit and may just request a reservation. Written applications are due at least 4 weeks ahead for recurring uses or 15 working days ahead for one-time uses, in-city applicants get priority over outside groups, and the city manager can deny a permit for reasons including inadequate facilities, safety concerns, late filing, or a prior permit violation.
Violations & Fines
Using a park facility for an event without the required permit, or violating a permit's conditions, can result in denial or revocation of the permit or reservation under § 7.22.050(g) and enforcement as a misdemeanor under § 7.22.100.
