Athletic Field Reservations
- You must have a permit to use “game only” fields in regional or recreational parks.
- Local park fields (for practice/game) don’t require a permit, but get first priority for permit-holders.
- Permits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis.
Sports Leagues and Organizations:
Some leagues/organizations get “priority use” contracts each season if they meet the eligibility criteria. Visit our Athletic Field Use Permit Policy to see if your group is considered a priority user group.
Priority Use Contracts will be sent to the primary account holder no later than January 5th for the spring/summer season, June 15 for the fall season, and November 1 for the winter season. Contracts will not be issued if there is an outstanding balance in the account.
If there is someone or another group occupying your rental space, present your permit to them and ask them to vacate. In case of an emergency or to report a problem that significantly affects use, contact Park Police Non-Emergency Number: 301-949-8010. For School and Department of Recreation Fields, call CUPF (Community Use of Public Facilities) after hours: 240-490-2873.
