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

310 opens by stating that city park facilities may be reserved by obtaining a permit from the Recreation and Parks Department. Subsection (a) gives the Recreation and Parks Director authority to close any facility or portion of it and require everyone to leave when conditions present a hazard to the facility or to public safety, which applies even to a permitted event already underway. Subsection (b) lists the findings the Director must make before issuing a permit: the activity will not unreasonably interfere with or detract from public enjoyment of the park or from the promotion of public health, welfare, safety and recreation; all conditions are met, including payment of fees and any required insurance coverage; the activity is not reasonably anticipated to incite violence, crime or disorderly conduct; it will not entail unusual or burdensome expense or security operations by the department; the facility has not already been reserved by someone else; and any special conditions requested are reasonable and feasible.

Subsection (c) requires a permit holder to produce and exhibit the permit on request of any department employee or peace officer, and subsection (d) requires anyone using a reservable area without a permit to vacate when a valid permit holder shows up. 315 then requires all parties to pay the rental fees set in the City's Adopted Master Fee Schedule, which the Recreation and Parks Department maintains separately from the code itself.
