Summary

Facilities are available for reservation pursuant to the current rental policy, as determined by the city manager or designee.
Full Breakdown
South Jordan City Code § 12.16.060 makes park facilities 'available for reservation pursuant to the current rental policy, as determined by the city manager or designee.' That policy, not the code itself, sets the fees, deposits, and booking rules for pavilions, sports fields, and other bookable spaces across the city's parks, trails, and open space system. Anyone planning a private gathering, tournament, or similar reserved-facility use needs to book through the city's reservation process rather than simply arriving. Activities otherwise barred outdoors, such as horseback riding, inflatable equipment, or fireworks displays, also require the special event permit referenced elsewhere in the chapter's prohibited-activities list.
Violations & Fines
Occupying a reserved South Jordan park facility without a booking, or holding an activity that needs a special event permit without one, can result in removal from the site under § 12.16.060.
